Most cases of lymphedema occur as a result of iatrogenic damage following surgical excision or radiotheraphy in the treatment of breast malignancy. The risk of lymphedema varies depending upon the type of primary tumor and the extent of the resection and radiotherapy. Postoperative wound infection may increase this risk further. The incidence of secondary lymphedema of the upper limb following axillary node dissection depends upon the level of node clearance, but is approximately 2-30 %. In this study, we searched our postoperative lymphedema insidence, reasons and the role of arm exercises in lympedema treatment.
