Ep. 338 Surgical Options for Lymphedema with Dr. Kuldeep Singh

In this episode, host Dr. Aparna Baheti interviews Dr. Kuldeep Singh who breaks down the three stages of lymphedema, their respective medical and surgical treatment options, all while sharing key insights he has developed through years of experience in treating and caring for patients with lymphedema at a high level throughout the episode. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Medtronic HawkOne Directional Atherectomy System https://www.medtronic.com/hawkone Philips SymphonySuite https://www.philips.com/symphonysuite --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Kuldeep is a Vascular Surgeon, the Director of Limb Salvage Surgery, and Program Director at Zucker School of Medicine at North Wall Hospital in Staten Island. He begins by recounting the first time he was approached by a patient suffering from Stage 3 lower extremity lymphedema, along with his initial thought process/treatment plan for the patient. He then goes on to speak on several similarities/challenges he has encountered through treating a number of patients with lymphedema, including managing/treating psychological body dysmorphia in most patients after successful surgical treatment of lymphedema. Kuldeep underscores the gravity and risks associated with moving forward with the Charles procedure (which is also known as lymphedema debulking operation), how such a surgical option should only be considered for patients with Stage 3 lymphedema, and how to encourage and promote consistent pre-operative care. Kuldeep goes onto discuss the operation itself in detail - explaining how the surgery is best done as a team (Vascular (dissecting soft tissue and placing Wound VAC for 1 week to promote formation of granulation tissue), Plastics (skin grafting/reconstruction after 1 week), and Pathology), working within the fascial plane (differentiating fascia, muscle, and fat), dealing with calcified fat effectively, difficulty of identifying fascia in setting of lymphedema, and working near the ankle (avoiding iatrogenic injury of anterior and posterior tibial arteries and achilles tendon). We wrap up the episode by discussing postoperative course: admitting the patient into Burn ICU after each step of the procedure, reapplying Wound VAC after Vascular and Plastic portions, and only discharging the patient from Burn ICU to a rehab facility after evidence of good graft uptake. --- RESOURCES Limb Salvage for “Hopeless” Lymphedema: Reviving the Charles Procedure by Singh et al.

Dr. Agan tells us about the types of nosebleeds that are common and the general treatment algorithm she follows. We discuss nasal packing and decongestant sprays for treatment and how to know when to take the patient to the OR. Dr. Agan talks about isolating the bleeding spot, how to use a foley for posterior nosebleeds, and SPA litigation. We discuss why ENT might consult IR for an embolization. Dr. Dhand tells us about the contraindications for embolization and the procedure for treating the epistaxis. We review the materials that should be used and why it is important to look out for artery connections and pseudoaneurysms. We discuss the pearls and pitfalls of ENT and IR treatment of epistaxis and how to avoid the risk of stroke.
