Innovative microsurgical treatment of male external genitals lymphedema

Figure 3 Post surgical self-evaluation of tissue swelling, weight sensation and urination expressed as percentage of the pre-operative lymphedematous condition in patients showing a complete or only partial recovery at three months after surgery. Based on patients evaluation, even partial recovery represented a significant improvement with respect to pre-operative condition. In responding patients the objective clinical outcome was accompanied by a subjective evaluation of almost complete recovery of the normal tissue swelling, weight sensation and urination. Zero percentage on the Y axis corresponds to the normal condition. Histograms presents mean values ± SD of the mean.
