Electron microscopy is a tool used for obtaining high resolution images of biological and non-biological specimens.
It is used in surgery to perform microsurgery.
In our study it is used for the treatment of lymphedema (lymph node transplantation or for the microvascular connection of new lymphatic pathways).
It also used for free flaps for breast reconstruction or for other loss of substance.

Description of research activity:
Lymphedema is the result of an imbalance between capillary filtration and lymphatic drainage. Normal lymphatic function ensures the return of plasma proteins and excess water from the interstitial compartment back into the intravascular circulation.
Upper extremity lymphedema in the setting of breast cancer and mastectomy can occur in 1-20% of women depending on the nature of the lymphadenectomy. The etiology of lymphedema is presumed secondary to disruption of lymphatic pathways, excision of lymph nodes, and scar formation.
Advances in our understanding of the anatomophysiology of the lymphatic system and the pathogenesis of lymphedema have led to the development of effective surgical techniques to ameliorate the symptoms and disability of patients with lymphedema. Vascularized lymph node transfer involves the transfer of functional lymph nodes, with microanastomosis with vasculature in the recipient bed to maintain their blood supply, to restore physiological lymphatic flow to an extremity in which the native lymph nodes has been removed.
