A Phase 1 interventional study of Thigh Surgery in Lymphedema and Obesity, sponsored by Federal University of São Paulo. Status unknown at 1 site in Brazil. Open to female participants aged 30 Years to 60 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2013-08-09.
Sponsored by Federal University of São Paulo · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
This study will investigate the subcutaneous tissue changes in the lymphedema found after thigh surgery, by circumferential measure of thr thighs and by magnetic resonance imaging verifying the effects of postoperative lymphatic drainage.
Patients will be invited to participate in the study, divided into two groups, and randomized to treatment by wwww.randomization.com, where 10 patients will participate in the study group(20 legs) and 10 control group patients(20 legs). Total of 40 legs. Then, the evaluation will be performed on preoperative time, consisting of physical examination and circumferential measures. Others measurements will be taken im postoperative time and confirmed by magnetic resonance.
560 studies on the registry are indexed under Lymphedema; 135 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 20 is below the median of 50 across 403 interventional studies indexed under Lymphedema.

Preoperative measurement.
Thigh circumference measurements made with anthropometric metal tape and a Permanent Marker, based in bone parameters in supine position. Using as reference the bony protuberance of the trochanter, the first measurement will be taken 5 (five) cm below this point and 5 (five) cm above the patella, and betwin this two points will be made one mark at the midpoint between them. After the measurement, a Magnetic Resonance of the thighs is made.
Time frame: one day before surgery
