MARTIN GONZALEZ, Miguel Ángel. Fenestración videolaparoscópica de un linfocele sintomático posterior a un trasplante renal. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2003, vol.42, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.
This paper is aimed at describing a case of symptomatic lymphocele after kidney transplantation, which was treated with videolaparoscopy. It was a 54 years-old woman with terminal chronic renal failure secondary to several blood hypertension, who was transplanted a kidney from a dead donor in 2001. She presented with some discomfort in the transplant area, without urinary symptoms, owing to a urethral catheter used as rod and due to be withdrawn. The diagnosis was symptomatic lymphocele. After pre-operative checking, internal drainage by videolaparoscopy was performed, with no accidents or immediate surgical complications; the urethral catheter was withdrawn at 24 hours and the patient was discharged at 48 hours. Ten months later, no complication was found. The videolaparoscopic treatment of symptomatic lymphocele after kidney transplantation is the therapy of choice
