title: [Experiences with laparoscopic lymphocele drainage].
abstract: Lymphoceles are among the most frequent surgical complications of pelvic surgery. In ten patients with large lymphoceles in the pelvis after successful kidney transplantation or radical suprapubic prostatectomy we performed laparoscopic drainage of the lymphocele. Laparoscopic windowing of lymphoceles is a safe, minimally invasive form of treatment and a successful alternative to open surgical marsupialization, percutaneous puncture or external drainage of the lymphocele.
