Lymphatic leakage after pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer: a retrospective case-control study

Abstract Background The study aims to evaluate the clinical features and management of postoperative lymphatic leakage (PLL) in patients with cervical cancer who received pelvic lymphadenectomy. Methods This retrospective study screened consecutive patients with cervical cancer (stage Ia2-IIb). Resu...

Methods This retrospective study screened consecutive patients with cervical cancer (stage Ia2-IIb). Results Among 3427 cases screened, 63 patients (1.8%) were diagnosed with PLL, which manifested as persistent abdominal drainage (42/63, 66.7%), chylous ascites (12/63, 19.0%) or vaginal drainage (9/63, 14.3%). Median time from surgery to onset of PLL was 6 days (range, 4–21 days). All cases resolved in a median 10 days (range, 3–56 days) after conservative treatment; although one case experienced recurrence of vaginal drainage after 26 days, this also resolved after conservative therapy. Multivariate analysis showed that two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (odds ratio [OR], 3.283; 95% confidence interval [95%CI], 1.289–8.360; P = 0.013), a decrease in hemoglobin level of ≥20 and < 30 g/L (OR, 6.175; 95%CI, 1.033–10.919; P = 0.046) or ≥ 30 g/L (OR, 8.467; 95%CI, 1.248–17.426; P = 0.029), and postoperative albumin level ≥ 30 and < 35 g/L (OR, 2.552; 95%CI, 1.112–5.857; P = 0.027) or < 30 g/L (OR, 5.517; 95%CI, 2.047–18.148; P = 0.012) were associated with PLL.
