Mayo Clinic Minute: First-of-its-kind surgery helping patients with lymphedema

Lymphedema is swelling that typically occurs in the extremities, often resulting from the damage or removal of a person’s lymph nodes during cancer treatment. It affects approximately 1 in every 1,000 Americans and is especially prevalent in patients with breast cancer. The swelling can cause discomfort and lead to infection. Mayo Clinic surgeons in Arizona are leading the way with cutting-edge technology by using robotic surgery to offer a new procedure to treat lymphedema. ____________________________________________ For the safety of its patients, staff and visitors, Mayo Clinic has strict masking policies in place.
