Abstract

Pelvic lymphoceles are complications that can arise postoperatively following pelvic surgeries and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). Lymphoceles can be clinically symptomatic or remain asymptomatic and spontaneously regress. We report a case of a 55-year-old patient who presented with an infected lymphocele 8 months post robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with a PLND associated with intracavernosal injection for erectile dysfunction.

Keywords: Infection; Lymphocele; Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND), Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP); Robotic prostatectomy.
