Laparoscopic marsupialization of pelvic lymphoceles following radical prostatectomy

Large Bilateral Symptomatic Pelvic Lymphoceles Following a Radical Prostatectomy.

Bilateral Inguinal Lymphoceles Following Robotic Radical Prostatectomy

Introduction: Pelvic lymphoceles are a known complication of pelvic lymph node dissection after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). However, large symptomatic inguinal lymphoceles after RARP have hitherto not been reported. Case Description: We present the case of a 71-year-old morbidly obese man who developed large, symptomatic, bilateral inguinal lymphoceles after RARP and pelvic l...

Uni- vs. multiloculated pelvic lymphoceles: differences in the treatment of symptomatic pelvic lymphoceles after open radical retropubic prostatectomy.

PURPOSE To evaluate the treatment of symptomatic pelvic lymphoceles (SPL) after performing radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) and pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLA) simultaneously. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed, in a retrospective study, 250 patients who underwent RRP with PLA simultaneously. Only patients with SPL were treated using different non- and invasive procedures such as percutaneou...

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: omitting a pelvic drain.

PURPOSE Our goal was to assess outcomes of a selective drain placement strategy during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) with a running urethrovesical anastomosis (RUVA) using cystographic imaging in all patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients undergoing LRP between January 2003 and December 2004. The anastomosis was performed using a...

Management of pelvic lymphoceles after radical prostatectomy: A multicentre community based study

INTRODUCTION Pelvic lymphoceles (LC) following radical prostatectomy (LC-RP) have an incidence up to 27%. LC-managements constitute 50% of surgical interventions performed in post-RP patients. OBJECTIVES To describe a therapeutic algorithm for LC-managements based on a community based representative retrospective study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Multicentre data from 304 patients with LC-RP were...
