title: Lymphography following complete dissection of iliac lymph nodes.
abstract: Twenty-five patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix stage I were treated by radical hysterectomy and complete iliac lymph node dissection. None of the patients had postoperative lymphedema. Postoperative lymphography was performed in 6 of the patients. The flow time of contrast medium from the foot to the inguinal region was compared with that of a control group. Five different postoperative flow patterns were observed. No delay of the flow was found.
