[Our purpose for this 5-day course]

In order to introduce and shre Multi-site LVA prodcedurs using Super-Microsurgery to the world, we have set up a 5-day training course called “Lymphedema surgery in Japan” at our hospital "Saiseikai Kawaguchi General Hospital, Saitama, Japan ". The course curriculum involves the interpretation of lymphoscintigraphy images, performing and interpreting ICG lymphography, and observing LVA surgery in our operating theatre. We want to  share our knowledge and technique of multi-site LVA surgery global-wide. We look forward to your participation.
