수술 후 림프 흐름의 변화: 서술적 검토

Apart from lymph node dissection or not, any kinds of soft tissue-injuring operation can make lymphatic system be modified during postoperative period. These kinds of lymphatic system changes have dynamically progressed over the whole body, including internal organs, in gross level as times goes on. In terms of homeostatic maintenance trial, either of regeneration and aggravation occurs simultaneously. The wider is degree of operation or lymphatic system injury, the more powerful is regeneration trial induced. The postoperational state of lymphatic system can be affected by external factors such as rehabilitation or drugs as well as by whether success or failure of regeneration. Because postoperational regeneration commonly occurs during acute or subacute period following surgery, any sorts of regeneration-aiming treatments should be provided to patients in accordance with time-strategy. However, newly developed collateral lymphatic pathways can be used as a metastatic pathway of cancer cells following operation.
