[Fenestration by laparoscopic approach of a post-transplantation renal lymphocele]

Symptomatic post-transplantation renal lymphoceles are usually treated with Byron's technique--medical laparotomy, internal drainage with fenestration, transperitoneal marsupialization and epiploplasty. The same procedure was performed laparoscopically in a 34 year old obese man who had a renal transplantation 18 months earlier. The procedure, together with its advantages are discussed.
