Abstract

The authors report fourteen cases of lymphocele in a series of one thousand consecutive renal transplantations (1.4%). The prevention of these lymphoceles depends on rigorous lymphostasis. The diagnosis is based on ultrasonography. The treatment indicated in cases of voluminous lymphoceles consisted in marsupialization and omentoplasty.
