Özet
´A 74-year-old female patient underwentcytoreduction surgery with the diagnosis of high-grade ovarian serous carcinoma with no distantmetastasis. Afterwards, 10 liters of chylous acidwere drained from the abdominal drainage catheterand the patient was followed up with a picture of acute renal failure. Lymphangiography was plannedin consultation with interventional radiology.
´20 cc of lipiodol was administered to the rightinguinal lymph node and the free escape of lipiodolfrom the iliac level was monitored (image1). Later, the patient, whose refractory chylous acid patterncontinued, was given a 1:8 glue-lipiodol mixture in another session (image2). After the last procedure, a regression was observed in the patient's complaints.
´Post-operative lymphatic leakage is a complication of a radical gynecologic surgery involving lymph nodedissection. Its manifestation varies from asymptomaticlymphoceles to life-threatening chylous ascites. Lipiodol-induced selective blockage of the pathological lymphducts and its sterile inflammatory reactions are believedto lead to scarring; hence, lymphatic leakage can undergo healing within a few days or weeks.
´However, a significant proportion of patients do not show a response, especially those with higherdrainage volume. Liquid embolic agents, such as glue, can be injected from a lymph node upstream of the leakage point in an antegrade fashion, and thisglue can potentially cast the damaged lymphaticchannels securely.
´Pelvic lymphatic leakage may be observed aftergynecological surgeries.
´Lipiodol-glue mixture may be a good option forembolization in massive leaks.
