Abstract

Pelvic lymphocele is a postoperative complications than can result
after endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy and pelvic
lymph node dissection. Radical prostatectomy have many risk factors
of deep vein thrombosis including location of target organ,
malignancy, old age, Trendelenburg position, pelvic lymph node
dissection, and long procedure time. A 57-year-old man with a
localized prostate cancer was treated with endoscopic extraperitoneal
radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. Deep
vein thrombosis was detected as a first sign of pelvic lymphocele.
Lymphocele was managed with a percutaneous drainage without
sclerosant. We report a case of deep vein thrombosis due to pelvic
lymphocele after endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy.
