Pooperační ranné komplikace revaskularizačních výkonů v tříslech zahrnují velmi často komplikace spojené s poraněním lymfatického systému jako lymfokélu a lymforheu s následnými lokálními infekčními komplikacemi hrozícími infekcí protetických štěpů. Prezentujeme kazuistiku úspěšného ošetření pooperační lymfokély s následnou lymfatickou píštělí a dehiscencí operační rány pomocí intranodální embolizace poraněné lymfatické uzliny tkáňovým lepidlem Histoacryl.

Early postoperative wound complications in revascularization procedures in the groin very often include complications associated with injury to the lymphatic system such as lymphocele and lymphorrhea with subsequent local infectious complications and the risk of infection of prosthetic grafts. We present a case report of successful treatment of postoperative lymphocele with subsequent lymphatic fistula and dehiscence of the surgical wound by intranodal embolization of the injured lymph node with Histoacryl tissue glue.

Úvod: Symptomatická lymfokéla může významným způsobem negativně ovlivňovat funkci transplantované ledviny. Cílem naší práce bylo pětileté sledování nemocných, kteří podstoupili léčbu. Metody: Do souboru bylo zařazeno 50 nemocných, kteří byli léčeni pro symptomatickou lymfokélu. Retrospektivně jsme hodnotili demografická data, příčinu renálního selhání, indikaci k léčbě, provedenou terapii. Laboratorně byly hodnoceny hladiny kreatininu, celkové bílkoviny a albuminu. Celkové přežití pacientů a štěpů bylo hodnoceno Kaplan-Meierovými křivkami. Výsledky: Průměrný věk 50 nemocných (44% žen, 56% mužů) byl 51,5±11,8 roku, doba mezi transplantací a diagnózou lymfokély byla 12,8±21,5 měsíců. Průměrná velikost lymfokély byla 71±35mm. Příčina renálního selhání vlastních ledvin byla: glomerulonefritida (34 %), tubulointersticiální nefritida (30 %), polycystóza (24 %), diabetická nefropatie (10 %) a nefroskleróza (2 %). Indikace k léčbě byla: elevace sérového kreatininu (44 %), hydronefróza štěpu (38 %), hydronefróza štěpu s elevací kreatininu (8%), hydronefróza s infekcí (6 %) a infekce (4 %). Léčba byla provedena: otevřenou drenáží do peritonea (40 %), jednorázovou aspirací (26 %), zevní drenáží (18 %) a laparoskopickou drenáží do peritonea (16 %). Průměrná hladina kreatininu v době léčby, resp. v 60. měsíci byla, 231μmol/l, resp. 172 μmol/l, plasmatická hladina celkové bílkoviny byla 59g/l, resp. 69g/l, plasmatická hladina albuminu 36g/l, resp. 43g/l. Pětileté přežívání nemocných bylo 86% a přežívání štěpů 66%. Závěr: Adekvátní léčba symptomatické lymfokély vede ke stabilizaci funkce štěpu. Pokud je lymfokéla indikována k léčbě, je třeba ji provést co nejdříve, aby se předešlo vzniku fibrózních změn. Žádné úmrtí ani ztráta štěpu neměly přímou souvislost s léčbou lymfokély

Introduction: Symptomatic lymphocele could impair the function of a graft kidney. The aim of our research was to conduct a five-year follow-up after symptomatic lymphocele therapy. Methods: Overall 50 patients undergoing the therapy of symptomatic lymphocele were enrolled in the study cohort. Demographic data, renal failure causes, indication of therapy and lymphocele management were retrospectively evaluated. Laboratory tests were done to evaluate serum creatinine, total plasma protein and albumin levels. Survival rates of the patients and of the grafts were analysed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Results: The mean age of the 50 patients (44% females, 56% males) was 51.5±11.8 years, and the time between kidney transplantation and symptomatic lymphocele diagnosis was 12.8±21.5 months. Average lymphocele diameter was 71±35 mm. Causes of the native kidney failure were: glomerulonephritis (34%), tubulointerstitial nephritis (30%), polycystosis (24%), diabetic nephropathy (10%) and nephrosclerosis (2%). The therapy indications were: serum creatinine elevation (44%), graft hydronephrosis (38%), serum creatinine elevation associated with hydronephrosis (8%), infection associated with hydronephrosis (6%) and infection (4%). The lymphocele was managed by: open surgical intraperitoneal drainage (40%), percutaneous aspiration (26%), percutaneous long-term drainage (18%) and laparoscopic intraperitoneal drainage (16%). Mean serum creatinine levels at the time of the therapy and 60 months later were 231 μmol/L and 172 μmol/L, respectively; total plasma protein levels were 59 g/L and 69 g/L, respectively; albumin plasma levels were 36 g/L and 43 g/L, respectively. The five-year patient survival rate was 86% and the graft survival rate was 66%. Conclusion: Adequate management of symptomatic lymphocele stabilizes the graft function. If the post-transplant lymphocele is indicated for therapy, the therapy should be applied as soon as possible to prevent fibrous changes in the surrounding tissues. No patient death or graft loss had any direct relationship with lymphocele management.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the sonographic characteristics of a lymphocele after pelvic and/or paraaortic lymphadenectomy for gynecological malignancy, analyze and identify ultrasound characteristics related to the symptomatic and asymptomatic lymphoceles. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of ultrasound examination data collected consecutively in patients after pelvic and/or paraaortic lymphadenectomy in one institution. We recorded the number of lymphoceles, localization, size; ultrasound morphology following International Ovarian Tumor Analysis group classification and symptoms. RESULTS: We described and analyzed 227 lymphoceles (150 asymptomatic and 77 symptomatic) in 161 patients. The asymptomatic lymphocele is typically a thick-walled cystic lesion without vascularization, round and unilocular with anechoic or ground-glass content. The symptomatic lymphocele is typically an oval, or ovoid, unilocular lesion with low-level or anechoic content (ground glass content is unlikely to be present, p < 0.001) and the presence of debris and septations. The lymphocele size (p = 0.001), number of lymphoceles (>1) (p = 0.005), septa (p = 0.002), and debris (p < 0.001) were independent ultrasound features correlating to symptoms development. More than one lymphocele (p = 0.047), septations (p = 0.007) and presence of debris (p < 0.001) were independent ultrasound features correlated to infection. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound features of symptomatic and asymptomatic lymphocele differ. The clues for lymphocele differential diagnosis are the history of lymphadenectomy and the finding cystic lesion with typically ultrasound features of lymphocele, adjacent to great pelvic vessels. Unique ultrasound features of lymphocele may help to distinguish from tumor relapse, hematoma, abscess, seroma or urinoma.
