ANATOMY OF LYMPHATIC BED OF UPPER LIMB: LYMPH DRAINAGE FROM UPPER LIMB IN NORM AND AFTER AXILLARY LYMPH NODE DISSECTION

Up-to-date literature on the anatomy of lymphatic bed of upper limb and ways of lymph drainage from an upper limb in norm and after axillary node dissection is reviewed. The material presented in the form of analysis of the previous anatomic studies and results of clinical investigations helps in understanding of compensatory mechanisms, which develop at appearance of factors worsening the lymph drainage and increasing the risk of lymphedema of upper limb. The data presented are of great significance for understanding of pathogenesis of secondary lymphedema of a limb and development of promising methods for treatment of this disease.
