ABSTRACT
Kidney transplant is the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease. It reduces mortality and improves the quality of life. However, kidney transplant presents medical and surgical complications, and one of the most common is the posttransplant lymphocele. Lymphocele complication has an incidence of up to 20% and presents with variable clinical symptoms, which are directly associated with the size and compression effect on the adjacent organs. There are reported risk factors that favor the appearance of lymphocele. Despite known factors, there are more relevant factors (male sex, deceased donor, and corticosteroids) to carry out a stricter follow-up. The treatment of lymphoceles can vary according to the severity of the symptoms, characteristics of the collection, and the patient's clinical status. Despite the high recurrence, percutaneous intervention is the initial approach in this condition. If percutaneous aspiration, drainage, and sclerotherapy are unsuccessful, then open or laparoscopic fenestration can be performed; laparoscopy is the standard of treatment since it is highly effective and has few adverse effects.
