Disease relevance of Lymphocele

• RESULTS: During observation 7 surgical complications (6.5%) developed, including ureteral stricture, ureteral necrosis, renal artery stenosis, lymphocele, subcapsular hematoma, bladder leakage and significant vesicoureteral reflux to the graft in 1 patient each [1].
• Hygroma renale: pararenal lymphatic cysts associated with renin-dependent hypertension (Page kidney). Case report on bilateral cysts and successful therapy by marsupialization [2].
• Hematoma and lymphocele formation seem to be promoted by heparin [3].
• Six patients had pathologic conditions including ureteral stricture, compression by lymphoceles, implantation stenosis, vesicoureteral reflux, and late-occurring transitional cell carcinoma at the implantation site [4].
• Nephrotoxic acute renal failure in a renal transplant patient with recurrent lymphocele treated with povidone-iodine irrigation [5].

High impact information on Lymphocele

• Technetium-99m-albumin colloid lymphoscintigraphy in postoperative lymphocele [6].
• Diagnostic criteria for a lymphocele were ultrasonic evidence of a perirenal fluid collection and analysis of that fluid that demonstrated BUN, creatinine, and electrolytes similar to the patient's plasma [7].
• The authors investigated transcatheter sclerosis of pelvic lymphoceles with povidone-iodine as a method to increase the success rate of percutaneous management [8].
• MATERIALS AND METHODS: Consecutive series of adult kidney only recipients, including group 1-152 who received sirolimus/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)/prednisone (P), group 2-168 who received cyclosporine/MMF/P and group 3-193 who received cyclosporine/azathioprine/P, were analyzed for post-transplantation lymphocele formation [9].
• We present a case in which a povidone-iodine solution was used successfully in percutaneous sclerosis of a cervical lymphocele after transposition of the left subclavian artery to the left common carotid artery [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Lymphocele

• In contrast, only 1 of 30 patients (3 per cent) not receiving mini-dose heparin had a lymphocele and 1 (3 per cent) had prolonged lymph drainage [11].
• A therapeutic approach to the treatment of symptomatic lymphocele is described, which employs external drainage, if necessary followed by methylene blue staining and laparoscopic internal drainage, should conservative treatment fail [12].
• To report an alternative form of management of a persistent lymphocele that was unresponsive to percutaneous drainage and ethanol sclerotherapy [13].
• One recurrent lymphocele persisted after re-treatment with 1 g of doxycycline [14].
• Bleomycin sclerosis of pelvic lymphoceles [15].

Anatomical context of Lymphocele

• Posttransplant lymphocele causing obstruction of the inferior vena cava and portal vein [16].

Gene context of Lymphocele

• Only one trauma to the vena cava occurred at the time of the Verres needle insertion and two postoperative lymphoceles were observed [17].
• Peritransplant lymphocele causing arterial hypertension by a Page kidney phenomenon. Leuven Collaborative Group for Transplantation [18].
• Subsequent spontaneous development of bilateral renal lymphocoeles, which contained high erythropoietin levels, was shown by computerized tomography [19].
• CONCLUSIONS: CSAV in a RAPA-based regimen results in a marked reduction in WHC and lymphoceles [20].
• CONCLUSION: Simple one-step procedure enables long-term drainage and is a well-tolerated, safe, and effective technique in the management of infected lymphocele [21].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Lymphocele

• The results suggest that mini-dose heparin may delay clotting of lymph and, thus, may be associated with an increased incidence of lymphocele formation after extraperitoneal lymphadenectomy [11].
• PURPOSE: We initiated a prospective study to verify or refute the complications of lymphocele formation and excessive blood loss associated with heparin prophylaxis in pelvic lymphadenectomy and radical prostatectomy [22].
• Management of symptomatic lymphocele via percutaneous drainage and sclerotherapy with tetracycline [23].
• The use of methylene blue in the identification of lymphoceles after renal transplantation [24].
• Post-operatively, serum creatinine remained stable or improved in patients who underwent nephrectomy or marsupialization of lymphocele [25].
