The guide to lymphology describes the complete care chain for each lymphangiological condition – clearly, structured, and above all, patient-centered – including definitions, pathophysiological foundations, clinical aspects, diagnostics, medical therapy, complex physical decongestive therapy (KPE), as well as medical stocking provision and treatment setups in manual lymph drainage.

Comprehensive information on supportive self-treatment provides valuable assistance for patients. A chapter on drug-induced edema offers particularly important insights for clinicians.

Anatomical, physiological, and pathophysiological foundations, along with essential information on diagnostic measures and conservative therapy, complete the work.

New in the 2nd edition:

• Completely revised and expanded
