Abstract: The authors describe a new experimental model for lymphedema of rabbit ear. The method proved to be reliable and easily reproducible. The dilatation of lymph vessels after experimental provocation of lymphedema permits study of the physiopathologic basis of lymphovenous shunts created by means of microsurgery and proves to be helpful for the microsurgeon's practice.
