Background: Obesity is a risk factor for the development of secondary lymphedema after axillary lymphadenectomy and radiation therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine whether obesity influences the morbidity of lymphedema in patients who have the condition. Methods: Two cohorts of patients were compared: group 1, normal weight (body mass index ≤25 kg/m2); and group 2, obese (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2). Inclusion criteria were patients aged 21 years or older with lymphedema confirmed...

Summary: Plastic surgery patients span the nutritional spectrum from generally healthy, nutritionally competent patients to inherently catabolic, nutritionally deficient, and chronic wound patients. Therefore, plastic and reconstructive surgery affords the opportunity to investigate the impact of nutrition across a heterogeneous patient population following a wide variety of procedures. Although patients may be nutritionally deficient in certain vitamins warranting perioperative repletion, other...
