Lymphatic Surgery Fellowship Program
Our one-year fellowship covers the full spectrum of lymphatic disease and lymphatic surgery. This includes preventative surgery, such as immediate lymphatic reconstruction, as well as surgery for chronic disease, such as lymph node transfer, lymphovenous bypass, and debulking procedures. Participation in the multi-disciplinary lymphedema clinic and conference is a critical component of the educational process. The fellow will also gain expertise in evaluating patients with near infrared ICG imaging and high frequency ultrasound. Finally, the fellow is encouraged to work with our research team in clinical outcomes research as well as large animal lymphatic surgery.
