title: Lymphorrhea as postoperative complication of living donor nephrectomy: a case report.
abstract: We report a case of lymphorrhea after living donor nephrectomy. Clinically the donor presented with an increased flow of a liquid characteristic of lymph, which was treated successfully with iodinated povidone. The possible pathogenic mechanisms implicated in the development of lymphocele following renal transplantation are discussed.
