Summary

Lymphatic ascites, a rare complication after pelvic lymphadenectomy, can occur late and resist treatment following robotic prostatectomy surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Lymphatic System Research

Background:

  • Pelvic lymphadenectomy is a standard procedure in radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
  • Lymphatic ascites is a known, albeit uncommon, complication following lymph node dissection.
  • Delayed onset and refractory cases present unique clinical challenges.

Observation:

  • This report details a specific case of a patient experiencing delayed lymphatic ascites post-robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
  • The ascites presented significantly after the initial surgical recovery period.
  • The condition proved resistant to initial management strategies.

Findings:

  • Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy can lead to delayed and refractory lymphatic ascites.

  • This complication, though rare, requires careful consideration in post-operative urologic surgery surveillance.
  • The case highlights the complex behavior of lymphatic fluid leakage in the pelvic region.

    • Implications:

    • Enhanced awareness of this rare complication is crucial for urologic surgeons.
    • Further research into the mechanisms of delayed lymphatic ascites is warranted.
    • Development of novel management strategies for refractory cases may be necessary.
