Annnndddd the research is on!

So I saw a Facebook post on one of the lymphedema pages I follow...apparently in Italy there are surgeons who have been performing lymphedema microsurgery since 1973! I need to research further to see if they do node transfer or the attaching of lymph vessels to capillaries. Just curious because here in the US we seem to be lagging behind on treatments for it. 

I also need to find out if there are any surgeons closer than Chicago who do the surgeries.
