In this article, we discuss our collaboration with colleagues in medicine and therapy for conservative management and lymphedema staging. We describe our preferred imaging modalities for diagnosis, staging, and surgical treatment. Finally, we provide an overview of the surgical procedures we perform and our surgical treatment algorithm.
