Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Surgery to treat lymphedema has been shown to be effective in multiple studies, is not experimental, and has long been held as the standard of care for patients with lymphedema. When integrated into a comprehensive lymphedema treatment program for patients, surgery can provide effective and long-term improvements that nonsurgical management alone cannot achieve. Such a lymphedema treatment program can provide tremendous improvements for many problems including recurring cellulitis infections, inability to wear appropriate clothing, loss of arm or leg function, and reductions in the amount of lymphedema therapy and compression garment use needed. This chapter reports the use of a two-phase approach to treat patients with chronic, solid-predominant lymphedema who have maximized the use of conservative lymphedema therapies. Suction-assisted protein lipectomy (SAPL) is used to address the excess lymphedema solids first. After patient healing is complete, vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) and/or lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery can be used to further reduce dependence on conservative treatment methods.
