Successful Surgical Treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Vaccination Related Upper Extremity Lymphedema: Case Report
Lymphedema is rare adverse effect of COVID-19 vaccination which was reported at several literatures. We present a case of surgically treated secondary lymphedema after the COVID-19 vaccination. The patient presented lymphedema at the upper extremity with no specific history except the COVID-19 vaccination 18 months before the visit. LVA and liposuction for the posterolateral aspect of forearm and upper arm was performed. The volume of the affected arm was reduced to more than 54 percent at the postoperative 8 months. With precise surgical planning, secondary lymphedema occurred after the COVID-19 vaccination could be successfully treated surgically.
