- Title
Laparoscopic Marsupialization of Lymphocele after Laparoscopic Lymph Node Dissection.
- Authors
FALLICK, MARK L.; LONG, JOHN P.
- Abstract
The authors describe what appears to be the first case of transperitoneal marsupialization of a lymphocele following laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection. The 9.7 × 5.6 × 6-cm collection was opened, its edges were cauterized, and the internal membranes were resected with an operative time of 90 minutes and a blood loss of less than 30 mL. A multicenter trial may be useful to determine whether excision of a portion of the peritoneum or an inverted-V rather than a linear incision would decrease the incidence of lymphoceles after laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy.
