  • Title: Laparoscopical marsupialization of symptomatic post-transplant lymphoceles.
    Author: Boeckmann W, Brauers A, Wolff JM, Bongartz D, Jakse G.
    Journal: Scand J Urol Nephrol; 1996 Aug; 30(4):277-9. PubMed ID: 8908648.
    Abstract:
    Post-transplant lymphoceles after kidney transplantations occur with an incidence between 2 and 15%. In the last two years we observed four patients with symptomatic lymphoceles. After an infection or urinoma had been ruled out all cases were operated on laparascopically. All goals of open surgery in lymphoceles were achieved by this minimally invasive technique within an operating time between 40 and 70 min. No complications or recurrences occurred during a mean follow-up period of 17.8 months. Symptomatic post-transplant lymphocele is a rare event and represents an ideal indication for laparoscopic marsupialization.
