Abstract:
Lymphatic leakage and lymphatic cysts are common complications after radical resection of middle- and high-risk prostate cancer. There are many treatment methods but the effect is not accurate. This article reports two patients who were diagnosed by lipiodol lymphangiography under ultrasound guidance and used a mixture of n-butyl cyanoacrylate and lipiodol to embolize lymphatic leakage. Among them, one patient achieved success after one session of interventional embolization. Another patient achieved success after 3 interventions and embolization. Two patients had no complications related to lymphatic interventional therapy, and no lymphatic leakage recurred during the 3-month follow-up. Ultrasound-guided lymphangiography and lymphatic embolization through the inguinal lymph nodes are a feasible option for the treatment of refractory lymphoma leakage
