OBJECTIVE: Lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) is a major long-term complication of radical surgery. We aimed to estimate the incidence and grading of LEL in women who underwent lymphadenectomy and to evaluate risk factors associated with LEL.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 358 patients with cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancer who underwent transabdominal complete systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy between 1997 and 2011. Lower extremity lymphedema was graded according to criteria of the International Society of Lymphology. Incidence of LEL and its correlation with various clinical characteristics were investigated using Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional hazards methods.
RESULTS: Overall incidence of LEL was 21.8% (stage 1, 60%; stage 2, 32%; and stage 3, 8%). Cumulative incidence increased with observation period: 12.9% at 1 year, 20.3% at 5 years, and 25.4% at 10 years. Age, cancer type, stage (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics), body mass index, hysterectomy type, lymphocyst formation, lymph node metastasis, and chemotherapy were not associated with LEL. Multivariate analysis confirmed that removal of circumflex iliac lymph nodes (hazard ratio [HR], 4.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.09-8.77; P < 0.0001), cellulitis (HR, 3.48; 95% CI, 2.03-5.98; P < 0.0001), and number of removed lymph nodes (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99; P = 0.038) were independent risk factors for LEL.
CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative LEL incidence increased over time. The results of the present study showed a significant correlation with removal of circumflex iliac lymph nodes and cellulitis with the incidence of LEL. Multicenter or prospective studies are required to clarify treatment efficacies.
