    It is estimated that 3.5 million patients, both male and female, suffer from a congenital lipid distribution disorder of the arms and legs. Because these lipid distribution disorders are painful, owing to a lymphological high volume insufficiency and a structural drainage incompetence, the term lipohyperplasia dolorosa has become established as the name for the clinical picture of lipoedema. This lymphological clinical picture has also undergone a paradigm change with regard to the therapeutic options over the last 15 years: lipohyperplasia dolorosa is curable. This four part series reports on the principles and successes in operative lymphology. Zusammenfassung Geschätzt werden 3,5 Millionen PatientInnen, die an einer angeborenen Fettverteilungsstö-rung der Beine und Arme leiden. Da diese Fettverteilungsstörungen aufgrund einer lym -phologischen Hochvolumeninsuffizienz und einer strukturellen Drainageschwäche schmerzhaft ist, hat sich der Begriff Lipo-hyperplasia dolorosa zur Bezeichnung des Krankheitsbildes Lipödem durchgesetzt. Auch in Bezug auf die therapeutischen Optionen erlebte dieses lymphologische Krankheitsbild in den letzten 15 Jahren einen Paradigmenwechsel: Lipohyperplasia dolorosa ist heilbar. In einer vierteiligen Serie wird über Grundlagen und Erfolge der operativen Lymphologie berichtet werden.

    In many respects, lipedema of the arms and legs is still an underresearched disease within the lymphatic spectrum. It is clear that clinical symptoms frequently include symmetrical fat distribution in the arms and legs and pathognomonic tenderness in female family members. However, 75 years after the first descriptions provided by Allen and Hines, we still lack pathological evidence that would provide more insight than that offered by the theses proposed by Marsch and Brauer. We also lack information about hormonal influence on hyperplastic fatty tissue and the causes of obviously increased lymph formation in the fatty tissue in patients with lipohyperplasia dolorosa. Much more is known about the effects of combined decongestive therapy, which has been used since the 1960s. Moreover, since 1997, surgery has been used to successfully treat this disease presentation. The success rate in long-term observation (15 years) is 97%.

    Lipohyperplasia dolorosa (LiDo) - commonly referred to as lipedema - is a painful disproportionate but symmetrical fat distribution disorder of the extremities. An accompanying proportional symmetrical adipose tissue proliferation in the sense of coincident obesity can complicate the diagnosis and therapy of LiDo. Surprisingly, no valid anthropometric parameters are used to determine this obesity percentage. The often used parameter body mass index (BMI) lacks construct validity. An alternative is the waist-toheight ratio (WHtR).

    In 10 patients, lymphatic drainage was studied before and after liposuction of the legs, employing dynamic lymph scintigraphy. The data (comparison of right/left, stress/rest, before/after liposuction) were well reproducible. Lymphatic drainage was not altered significantly after liposuction as compared to the pretherapeutic status. Particularly, no relevant disturbance of lymphatic drainage became evident. Our limited data indicate that liposuction does not cause relevant damage to lymph vessels.
