Lymphatic obstruction is a blockage of the lymph vessels that drain fluid from tissues throughout the body and allow immune cells to travel where they are needed. Lymphatic obstruction may cause lymphedema, which means swelling due to a blockage of the lymph passages
hydronephrosis
Edema.
The swelling will be there due to the edema of the tissue,
hydronephrosis
If tissue lymphatics are blocked by a tumor or lymph nodes were excised to stop a tumor from metastasizing, the obstruction causes reduced lymphatic drainage, which leads to increased interstitial hydrostatic pressure, interstitial fluid volume, and eventually edema.
Adipose tissue is fat, while lymphedema is a swelling of tissues due to obstructed lymphatic drainage from a part of the body.
The central nervous system does not have a lymphatic system for drainage. This is due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier, which restricts the movement of substances between the blood and the brain tissue, including lymphatic fluid.

Unilateral pedal edema is swelling of only one leg and is usually the result of venous or lymphatic obstruction.
It will depend upon the cause of swelling. If it is due to post operative clot in the veins -DVT, treatment will require elevation, compression stockings and anticoagulant therapy. If the swelling is due to cancer surgery with removal of the lymph nodes for clearance, and if patient has had radiotherapy, it causes damage to the lymphatic system and treatment will be elevation of legs, compression stockings. In both cases there may be residual permanent swelling in the leg.
