It is caused by an impairment of lymph drainage and often occurs after a surgical intervention. In this setting conservative treatment is usually ineffective. The aim of this report is to share the outcomes of 11 patients with iatrogenic lymphocele in the thigh area treated by supermicrosurgical lymphovenous anastomosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patients and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eleven patients presenting iatrogenic lymphocele in the thigh were referred for surgery after an unsuccessful conservative therapy. Patients\u2019 mean age was 56\u2009years old, two males and nine females. All of them presented a moderate\u2010to\u2010severe lymphocele in the medial thigh after a surgical intervention that damaged the rich lymphatic pathway present there. Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography was always performed to visualize the lymphatic vessels and to make the preoperative marking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All the 11 patients were successfully treated by means of one or more (range: 1\u20133; mean: 1.5) lymphaticovenous anastomoses without complications. Three of them also received a pedicled sartorius flap for dead space obliteration. All the patients reached full range of motion (ROM) and no recurrences were observed during follow up (range: 6\u201312\u2009months; mean: 8). Intra\u2010operative ICG lymphography was performed in all cases to check the patency of the anastomoses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lymphaticovenous anastomosis confirmed to be a minimally\u2010invasive and effective procedure for the treatment of postsurgical lymphoceles in the leg. For large lymphoceles a muscle flap may be indicated for volume restoration and prevention of recurrences.<\/jats:p>\n
