title: [On ultrasound follow-up of patients after pelvic lymphadenectomy].
abstract: Ultrasound examination of the peritoneal cavity, small pelvis, iliac lymph nodes and femoral blood vessels (downstream of the blood flow) was performed in 346 patients who had undergone pelvic lymphadenectomy. Post-operative lymphocele developed in 302 (7.2%). However, treatment was required in 98 (28.3%) only. Our strategy of follow-up after pelvic lymphadenectomy facilitated diagnosis and effective excision of lymphocele without resorting to laparotomy due to an improved procedure of ultrasound monitoring.
