摘要
Although percutaneous procedures have been used for the treatment of lymphoceles, transcatheter sclerosing therapy has not been widely applied. We present the results of transcatheter sclerotherapy of lymphoceles with 96% absolute ethanol in 7 patients who had developed lymphocele after pelvic lymphadenectomy for uterine cancer. Seven of the eight lymphoceles (88%) completely disappeared after treatment. The duration of catheter drainage ranged from 4 to 21 days. Although one lymphocele did not resolve completely, it did not require surgery as the patient's symptoms resolved.
