| Popis: |
Between January 1977 and October 1992, 6 patients who had undergone renal transplantation presented with a symptomatic lymphocele that failed to resolve after conventional therapy and eventually required surgical intervention. This complication developed between 7 and 36 months postoperatively. Patients presented with local discomfort combined with deteriorating graft function caused by ureteric obstruction. The lymphoceles recurred after aspiration or external drainage and resolved after omentopexy. We conclude that omentopexy is a satisfactory procedure for the treatment of lymphoceles which fail to resolve after aspiration or external drainage. |
