Lymphodema is a congenital (primary) or mechanical (secondary) abnormality in the lymphatic system that leads to an abnormal accumulation of interstitial fluid in a specific area of the human body. This study focused on the formation of cancer associated with the tumor removal, which was usually caused by lymphatic dysection or secondary lymphodemy caused by lymphadenectomy, and the knowledge and experience of 10 nurses were also discussed the latest innovations in the field of microvascular surgery. In general, questions about lymphodesis were asked to volunteer nurses by researchers and received answers were written. According to the practices and experiences of nurses, the information of nurses on the subject was applied to the relevant literature but their knowledge was limited to their practice. Before the expulsion, the patient was given written material, but the information in it was planned, programmed, and the time was not specified. Patients learned that they were more concerned, and that the material containing information was given prior to the departure that would increase the awareness of patients and their relatives about preventing lymphodemia at home. As a result, the nurses are up-to-date, but they need motivations to provide information to the patient and their relatives, to provide lymphodemia preventive behaviors, to be motivated to provide less, planned, programmed, timely training.
