ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To assess the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic retroperitoneal resection for retroperitoneal lymphatic cysts.METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was conducted based on clinical data from eight patients with hydronephrosis caused by retroperitoneal lymphatic cysts. All patients underwent laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphatic cyst resection and received postoperative follow-up. A follow-up ultrasound was performed postoperatively every 6-12 months to evaluate the recovery of the hydronephrosis.RESULTS:
All operations were successful, and their postoperative pathological results revealed lymphatic cyst walls. The operation time ranged from 43 to 88 min (mean 62 min), with a blood loss of 20 to 130 mL (mean 76 mL), and the length of hospital stay was 3 to 6 days (mean 4.5 days). Within the follow-up of 12 to 36 months (mean 28.5 months), great relief was detected in all eight cases, and no recurrence was found. Moreover, complications such as renal pedicle or renal pelvis injury were not observed.CONCLUSIONS:
Laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphatic cyst resection is an effective treatment for retroperitoneal lymphatic cysts and has the advantages of being minimally invasive, producing less intraoperative blood loss and leading to a quick recovery. This treatment thus deserves further studies.Palavras-chave
