Our present results concur with theirs. One patient presented with acute onset urinary incontinence 3 weeks after surgery, which was due to bilateral lymphoceles. Hence, patients with such symptoms should prompt evaluation for lymphocele. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

• Collapse

  This is followed by the injection of a sclerosing agent via the same catheter to destroy the lining of the lymphocele so it will collapse, which will prevent the fluid from accumulating again in the same site. [docdoc.com.sg]

  Current noninvasive methods aim treatment at collapsing the walls of the lymphocele, while a few treatment options target the feeding lymphatic pathway directly. [clinicsinsurgery.com]

• Lymphadenopathy

  One supraclavicular lymphocele had significant regional lymphadenopathy that may have contributed to development via lymphatic obstruction (Figs. 3A and 3B ). [ajronline.org]

• Recurrent Infection

  Although surgical resection was initially considered the gold standard treatment for lymphocele [7], its association with high rate of recurrence, infection, and need for hospitalization quickly replaced the open procedure with laparoscopic approach [ [clinicsinsurgery.com]

• Pelvic Mass

  Patients with SPL may present a visible or palpable pelvic mass. Symptoms or signs may be a result of venous compression resulting in unilateral leg edema, leg pain and deep vein thrombosis. [scielo.br]

• Night Sweats

  When secondarily infected, fever, chills, and even night sweats are seen. [renalandurologynews.com]

• Irritability

  It can also irritate the urinary bladder that can result in urinary tract infection or increased frequency of urination. [docdoc.com.sg]

  Sclerotherapy causes wall irritation by inducing local inflammation and fibrosis of the lymphatic channels, thus obliterating the lymphatic leak [11]. [clinicsinsurgery.com]

  If the bladder is compressed, irritative urinary frequency occurs as the bladder is prevented from filling. Similarly, constipation can occur from rectal compression. When secondarily infected, fever, chills, and even night sweats are seen. [renalandurologynews.com]

  Besides possible benefits such as reduced morbidity and earlier mobility, a drain can cause an increased fluid secretion through irritation of the wound or increase the risk of an infection, and it remains unclear how long the drain should stay in the [dovepress.com]

If this therapy fails as first-line treatment, laparoscopic lymphocelectomy should be considered within a short period of time in order to achieve successful treatment. [scielo.br]

Fifty-two patients who were referred for lymphocele treatment were included in this study. Sixty lymphoceles of 52 patients were treated by percutaneous treatment with or without ethanol sclerotherapy. [lymphedemapeople.com]

In the absence of lymphatic metastases, 5-year survival can reach up to 84–96%, whereas it decreases to 30% or lower in patients with positive inguinofemoral lymph nodes. 2, 3 Given the impact of lymphatic metastases on future prognosis, assessment of [dovepress.com]

6, 8 As with these previously reported cases the initial presentation of our patient showed fever, chills and leukocytosis of unknown etiology but unlike these cases, our patient was over 2 years post-procedure at the time of presentation. [journals.sagepub.com]

A number of etiological factors are described and a large variety of combinations are likely to be causal. [ijtonline.in]

Trauma has also been suggested as the underlying etiology 1,4,5. Pigtail catheter drainage serves well to decompress the lymphocele and further induce fibrosis. [xvqo.ronaldwittek.de]
