Video abstract of a case report "Feasibility of a fiber optic laser approach to relieving lymphedematous syndrome: a case report" published in the open access journal OncoTargets and Therapy by Palmieri B, Di Cerbo A, Rottigni V, et al. Abstract: Here we report a case of successful fiber optic laser treatment of lymphedema in a swollen arm post mastectomy. At the moment, this procedure has only anecdotal evidence to justify its use, but in our experience is a feasible, minimally invasive day-stay procedure which has been demonstrated to be safe and effective. Further nonhomogeneous case pooling and follow-up would enable guidelines and definite surgical protocols for its use to be implemented.
