Lymphedema is always initially treated by combined decongestive physiotherapy (CDP). Those cases, refractory to CDP, may be managed by surgical therapy. One of the most used microsurgical procedures is represented by the technique of lymphatic‐venous anastomosis (LVA). But very few papers report long term results of LVA. The aim of this study is to assess the long‐term patency of multiple lymphatic‐venous anastomosis (MLVA) for the treatment of secondary lymphedemas.
