Abstract
Lymphedema of the head and neck after combination treatment of tumors of this localization is an important problem as it leads to functional disorders, including life-threatening, and significantly decreases the quality of life. Early start of treatment prevents complications at the stage of edema. Currently, complete decongestive therapy in combination with low-level laser therapy allows to abate lymphedema manifestations.
