Lymphadenectomy for pelvic cancer can lead to complications, particularly lymphocele. We report a case of pelvic lymphocele, which occurred in a patient who underwent surgery for stage IIa cervical carcinoma after preoperative radiotherapy. The intervention consisted in colpohysterectomy, with lymphadenectomy without peritonisation. Five months later she developed dysuria and pelvic pain. Ultrasound and computed tomography showed a pelvic lymphocele complicated by renal insufficiency. Kidney function was re-established after intraperitoneal marsupialisation. One year later the patient was in good clinical condition with no disorder of kidney function.

Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is important for accurate staging and prognosis of prostate cancer. Several guidelines recommend extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) for patients with non-low-risk prostate cancer. However, the therapeutic benefits of ePLND are unclear.

Management of symptomatic lymphoceles typically involves sclerotherapy and lymphangiography with embolization. When many afferent lymphatic channels are supplying a large-volume lymphocele, sclerotherapy is associated with high recurrence rate. This case presents a patient who underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and developed a high-volume lymphocele that was compressing the ipsilateral ureter, causing hydronephrosis.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the use of muscle flap reconstruction for patients who developed complications at the groin site after undergoing venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), which is often necessary for patients with severe medical issues.
- Fifteen patients were analyzed, with common issues including groin lymphocele and exposed femoral vessels; the most frequently used reconstruction method was a rectus femoris flap.
- The results indicated that muscle flap reconstruction was generally successful, with no cases of lymphocele recurrence and minimal flap-specific complications, although some patients did experience other postoperative issues.

: We aimed to assess the safety of a modified peritoneal fenestration technique with clipping of the window edges during kidney transplantation (KTx) and to determine its impact on reducing lymphocele following KTx. We compared the outcomes of this modified method with those of peritoneal fenestration without clipping. : Among 430 consecutive KTxs performed between 2015 and 2019, preventive peritoneal fenestration and clipping of the margins were performed in 25 patients.

Background: Inguinofemoral lymphoceles are a common postoperative complication after inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy (LNE) and a challenge for patients as well as physicians. We report here our preliminary experience in the surgical management of a recurrent lymphocele using indocyanine green (ICG) detection, followed by robotic-assisted closure of the lymphatic leaks.
Objectives: The aim of this article is to illustrate the surgical steps of ICG-assisted detection of inguinal lymphatic leaks and their surgical treatment by means of robot-assisted suturing.
