Summary

This trial is testing a low-risk surgical method to repair the lymphatic system during breast cancer-related surgery. It aims to prevent lymphedema, a condition where fluid buildup causes swelling. The study focuses on patients who have had breast cancer therapy and are at risk of developing lymphedema. The goal is to see if this procedure can reduce swelling and improve patients' quality of life. The surgery has shown potential to decrease lymphedema in breast cancer patients.
