Postoperative lymphatic pelvic cysts: analytical review

Abstract

Lymphatic cysts formation is one of the most frequent complications after extensive oncological surgeries for malignant pelvis diseases. The secondary complications of pelvis lymphatic cysts are the most dangerous and can significantly complicate a postoperative period, deteriorate treatment results and increase hospital stay. Interventional radiology technologies are the safest and effective ways in a pelvis cysts treatment. Timely and correct diagnosis using the modern visualization methods lets recognize and cure this complications as quick as possible.
