Systematic Lymphatic Repair for Reduction of Postoperative Lymphatic Leak Following Neuroblastoma Resection

Abstract

Gross total resection of neuroblastoma is associated with lymphatic leaks that can delay postoperative resumption of treatment. To prevent postoperative lymphatic leak, we introduced systematic lymphatic repair (SLR), which involved oversewing the entire edge of the disrupted lymphatic plane after neuroblastoma resection. We sought to study the impact of SLR on postoperative lymphatic leak and time to return to treatment.
