| Popis: | Three cases of lymphocele after lymphadenectomy for gynecologic malignancy are presented. These patients had large, symptomatic lymphoceles resistant to percutaneous catheter drainage. Sclerotherapy with a single dose of doxycycline was administered percutaneously to each patient. Single treatment achieved resolution in two patients. The third had a persistent lymphocele requiring excision. To our knowledge, doxycycline has not been used for sclerotherapy for lymphocele following radical gynecologic surgery. It may represent a viable addition to the conservative management of lymphoceles. |
