Title
A Successful Outcome after Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis Using a Contralateral Augmented Reality Mapping Technique in a Lymphedema Patient Secondary to a Mycobacterium abscessus Infection
Summary: We report a case of extremity lymphedema after a Mycobacterium abscessus infection in a 43-year-old man with anti-interferon-γ autoantibody syndrome. Lymphaticovenular anastomosis was performed using the contralateral healthy or less severe limb as a mirror image to map the lymph vessels in the edematous limb. A satisfying outcome was provided after the surgery. No report of lymphedema caused by this condition has been previously reported in the literature.
