Key Words Lymphocele; Renal transplantation; Complications; Immunosuppression; Prevention; Management; Marsupialization
Core Tip Lymphocele, a frequent complication after renal transplantation, results from lymphatic leakage, causing pelvic fluid accumulation. Incidence varies (0.6%-38%), with symptomatic cases (5%-10%) being at risk of graft dysfunction. Prevention emphasizes meticulous surgical ligation, peritoneal fenestration, and avoiding mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors early post-transplant. Ultrasound aids diagnosis, while management ranges from conservative monitoring for small lymphoceles to sclerotherapy or laparoscopic marsupialization for persistent cases. Emerging techniques, like intraoperative lymphangiography, show promise. Tailored immunosuppression and refined surgical approaches are critical for reducing lymphocele morbidity.
