Abstract
CASLEY-SMITH, Lymphoedema Association of Australia, Malvern, SA, casley@enternet.com.au, describes pioneering work carried out by the author, using electron microscopy, on the pathophysiological changes that occur [in lymphoedema], and the transport from blood vessels, through interstitium to the lymphatics and lymphatic uptake . The author discusses how further work, carried out in collaboration with colleagues, has produced a better understanding of lymphatic drainage and has led to the application of this work in the treatment of lymphoedema .
