A 17-year-old girl presented with bilateral lower limb lymphedema since 3 years. Lymphedema in the right leg was Grade III, not pitting and not reducing in size after limb elevation. She hailed from a tribal community. Considering her young age, a single-stage operative procedure for her lymphedematous leg was followed, as she was not prepared for a multistaged operation. However, this operative procedure needed to be a combination of both, debulking and physiological procedures, so as to give her immediate limb girth reduction as well as reduction in recurrence, as seen with debulking procedures. We report a newer technique that could achieve both goals.
