Summary

Lymphedema of the extremities is common after lymph node surgery in treating several forms of cancer, e.g., breast cancer. However, very little is known of the occurrence of lymphedema of the lower extremities after urologic surgery with lymph node dissection. This project aims to describe the frequency and grade of lymphedema arising after urologic surgery, using the Lymphedema Quality of Life Questionnaire (LymQOL), Delfin MoistureMeter D, and lower limb volume measurements.

Conditions

  • Penile Cancer
  • Urinary Bladder Neoplasms
  • Prostatic Neoplasms
  • Testicular Neoplasms

Interventions

OTHER

Self-reported lymphedema

Lymphedema as reported by LymQOL questionnaire.

OTHER

Dielectric constant ratio

Measurement of percentage tissue water content of lower extremities by dielectric constant ratio measured by MoistureMeter D.

OTHER

Limb volume

Measurement of lymphedema by limb volume of lower extremities by multiple measurements of circumference.
