Abstract:

Post-mastectomy lymphedema on the side of the surgical intervention is a major complication of radical therapy of breast cancer patients. Pneumatic compression (compression pump technology) of various types, modes and techniquesis used for their rehabilitation. A total of 192 breast cancer patients with I-IV degree lymphedema were available for the examination in the present study. All of them were treated with the application of different modes of one- and multi-chambered pneumatic compression. Based on the results of aqueous and impedance plethysmography, the multi-chambered pneumatic compression was identified as the most effective methods for the purpose, with the pressure inside the chambers below 60-80 mm Hg and the duration of the treatment 45-60 min per day. It is recommended to perform three treatment courses each consisting of 15 procedures with the intervals of 3-6 months between them (depending on the severity of the edema).
