TL;DR: Treatment in the maintenance phase should include compression garments, self-management, including self-massage, meticulous personal hygiene and skin care, in addition to lymphtransport-promoting excercises and activities, and, if desired, pneumatic compression therapy applied in the home.

TL;DR: The need for an international prospective trial is suggested in an effort to establish the efficacy and effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic options described in this article.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to discuss the complex mechanism that regulates volume in the fetus and newborn as well as the regulation of fluid distribution between the plasma and interstitial fluid, while placing special emphasis on the role the lymphatic system plays in mediating and maintaining this distribution.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that microsurgical LVA primary prevention prevented lymphedema after inguinal lymphadenectomy in the T-group patients, and lymphatic-venous multiple anastomoses proved to be a successful treatment for clinical lyMPhedema with particular success if treated at the early stages.

TL;DR: Non-Immune Hydrops Fetalis (NIHF) may be the final consequence of impaired systemic venous return and may help to explain pleural-pulmonary involvement in this generalized lymph-vessel malformation syndrome.
