Multi-layered bandaging for lower limb lymphedema in vulva cancer

Abstract

Introduction: Gynaecological cancer growth represents more than one out of eight diseases.12.5% of female malignancies are genital group: uterus (4.8%), ovary (3.7%), cervix (2.7%), and others including vulva (1.3%). Vulva Cancer is generally an uncommon infection of women but currently the occurrence is of 2-3 for every 100,000 females and a middle age of 65-70, vulvar malignancy has shown an expanding frequency (20% somewhere in the range of 1973 and 2000) with simultaneously diminishing middle age at beginning throughout recent many years. Method: Multi layered bandaging was applied for 22 hours every day over left lower limb followed by a session of active exercises of lower limb muscles. Materials used: Stockinette (inner lining), Padding made of foam, short stretch bandages using measurement scales: Circumference measurement at given level, Quality of life EORTC QLQ- C30, LEFS Lower extremity functional scale. Conclusion: Multi layered bandaging reflected great results where p value is drawn (p= < 0.001)
