Management of lymphocysts after radical gynecologic surgery.
Pelvic lymphocysts developed in 3 of 124 patients undergoing radical surgery for cervical cancer. All were managed by percutaneous aspiration under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Sclerosis was required in one patient. This management plan is superior to laparotomy in being less morbid and equally effective.
