In a 32-year-old pregnant woman, routine ultrasonography revealed right hydronephrosis and a huge retroperitoneal mass (20 x 7 cm) containing a fluid collection. Percutaneous drainage of the mass was performed and 2 L of clear, yellowish fluid was collected. Four months following the delivery, a recurrent retroperitoneal lymphocele was identified. Six months after the delivery, laparoscopic marsupialization was performed through a 10-mm umbilical camera port and two 5-mm ports on the right side of the abdomen. A posterior peritoneal window was established by creating a wide opening in the anterior wall of the lymphocele. Subsequent ultrasonography did not indicate a recurrence of the lymphocele or right hydronephrosis over a follow-up period of 8 months.

Treatment of a high-volume retroperitoneal lymphocele with obstructive hydronephrosis following lymph node dissection via combined intra-lymphocele retrograde lymphangiography with glue embolization and sclerotherapy.

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.

To assess the impact of the lymph node dissection (LND) technique on short- and long-term complications. This retrospective review included patients who underwent hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and pelvic ± para-aortic LND for gynecological malignancies (cervical, endometrial, and ovarian) from 2020 to 2022 in our Gynecological Oncology Surgery clinic. Among 147 patients who underwent pelvic LND for gynecological malignancy, 48 had procedures involving scissors and 99 had procedures involving unipolar cautery.

Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic vasoactive intestinal peptide-producing tumor (VIPoma) is a rare type of tumor that causes chronic watery diarrhea and various electrolyte imbalances, primarily hypokalemia and hypercalcemia, often leading to delayed diagnosis.
- The case discussed involves a 45-year-old woman with sudden, severe diarrhea and significant electrolyte disturbances that required urgent medical attention and further investigation for a functional neuroendocrine tumor.
- After confirming VIPoma through MRI and biochemical tests, the patient underwent surgery to remove the tumor, but experienced complications post-surgery, including severe anemia and a retroperitoneal cystic lesion.
