          Abstract

          Recurrent cellulitis is a frequent and challenging complication of lymphoedema. British Lymphology Society cellulitis guidelines state that decongestive lymphatic therapy reduces the frequency of cellulitis attacks, but do not mention the effect of surgical interventions. This systematic review aims to assess whether surgical interventions for lymphoedema reduce the frequency of attacks of cellulitis.
