Association of decreased lymphatic vessel density with postoperative eyelid edema.

The average lymphatic area among patients with severe edema was also less than that of patients with mild or no edema, but this did not reach statistical significance (1145 ± 496.9 μm 2 vs. 2753 ± 496.9 μm 2 , p = 0.064).There was also no statistically significant difference between patients with severe edema compared to patients with mild or no edema in terms of lymphatic perimeter measurements (209.3 ± 19.87 μm vs. 287.3 ± 26.24 μm, p = 0.71) ( Figure 3 ). 4 Discussion The eyelid contains a delicate network of lymphatics and blood vessels.
