Lymphocele after renal transplantation
Aust N Z J Surg.
1979 Dec.
Abstract
Lymphoceles occurred in 25 of 115 patients after renal transplantation in the Oxford Unit. Signs of obstruction or pressure were produced in 16 of these 25 patients (15%), while nine were detected on a routine ultrasound scan. The 16 symptomatic lymphoceles were treated successfully by aspiration or surgical fenestration into the peritoneal cavity . Of the possible causes examined, diathermy and division of iliac lymphatics seemed to be the most likely reason for this high incidence. Since a technique of ligating or clipping the iliac lymphatics has been adopted, no lymphoceles have occurred in the subsequent 70 transplants.
