Lipoedema Syndrome – More Than Just Big Legs is a lecture presented by Dr Tobias Bertsch and Gabriele Erbacher during the 3rd International FöldiClinic Days 2026.
The lecture explored the evolving understanding of lipoedema syndrome, presenting current evidence that challenges traditional views of the condition as an oedema or lymphatic disorder. Drawing on international guidelines and recent research, the session highlights the complex interplay between pain, psychological wellbeing, obesity, and patient care, and outlines a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment.
The abstract is available in English and German.
