Core Tip	This article highlights the effectiveness of combined therapy, particularly complex decongestive therapy and lymphovenous anastomosis, in treating severe deformed lymphedema, as demonstrated in a case report by Wang et al. The patient achieved significant improvements without reductive surgery, underscoring the potential of integrating conservative and minimally invasive treatments. The report emphasizes the need for continued research to optimize and standardize combined treatment protocols, considering both the benefits and limitations of current therapeutic approaches.
