Abstract
The Handley technique of subcutaneous tissue drainage with threads, especially silk, has been extensively criticized. Our technique was conceived for a more extensive lymph drainage of the whole or part of a limb (according to the location of the edema). Multinylon thread No. 0 is utilized and triamcinolone acetonide administered postoperatively for a month or longer to avoid active fibroblast reproduction and formation of a cylinder of fibroblasts separating the thread from the interstitial fluid. The latter complication is one of the worst problems with the Handley procedure.
