Abstract

Lymphocele is a complication which will be familiar to the gynaecological surgeon, particularly the oncologist. It is also well recognised in association with urological pelvic surgery and renal transplantation. Occurrence of lymphocele has been described in relation to surgery in a wide variety of other areas including the mediastinum, axilla, neck, aorta and peripheral vasculature. Clearly many of these examples are unusual occurrences, but they serve to illustrate that this complication will be encountered occasionally by surgeons in any of a number of disciplines.
