Implication

Randomized trial shows upstream lymphatic embolization reduces drainage in high-output lymphatic leakage, indicating a minimally invasive treatment option.

Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of upstream lymphatic embolization for managing lymphatic leakage post-pelvic lymph node dissection.
Treatment of a man with lymphatic leakage post-radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection.
Utilized lymphoscintigraphy and intranodal lymphangiography to identify leaks.
Embolization was performed using a N-butyl cyanoacrylate–ethiodized oil mixture.
Rapid reduction in drainage from >1000 mL/day to manageable levels, facilitating drain removal by day 4.
Patient discharged by day 10 without persistent lymphedema.
