Core Tip	Treatment of secondary lymphedema of male external genital organs through invasive standard surgical techniques may be complicated by impairing consequences for the patient and often do not guarantee an efficient long-term outcome. Alternatively, microsurgical suture of lympho-venous anastomoses between lymphatic collectors of the spermatic funiculum efferent to the external iliac chains and the pampiniform plexus tributary to the spermatic vein provides a successful long term treatment of genitals lymphedema and triggers the development of new lymphatic meshes in proximity to the anastomosis area, thus improving lymphedema also in tissues, like lower limbs, supplied by lymphatics emptying into common developed shunts.
