  • Title: Povidone-iodine instillation for management of pelvic lymphocele after pelvic lymphadenectomy for staging prostate cancer.
    Author: Sun GH, Fu YT, Wu CJ, Chang SY.
    Journal: Arch Androl; 2003; 49(6):463-6. PubMed ID: 14555330.
    Abstract:
    The development of postoperative lymphoceles following pelvic lymph node dissection is a rare complication. It is a well-described complication of kidney transplantation. A patient who developed a symptomatic pelvic lymphocele after pelvic lymph node dissection for staging prostatic cancer was treated with percutaneous tube drainage, but the treatment was in vain. Successful treatment was accomplished with povidone-iodine instillation into the lymphocele. This simple, safe, and painless method for lymphocele treatment is recommended.
