Abdominal lymphangiomas (ALs) are extremely rare. Therapy includes surgery, sclerotherapy, or pharmacological treatment. Laparoscopic resection (LR) has been already described, but mainly as case reports. The aim of this study is to present our series of ALs LR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From 2007 to 2020, 10 cases of ALs were electively treated by LR. Patients' age ranged from 4 months to 14 years. Preoperative diagnosis was achieved by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance images. In all cases LR was performed with four trocars: a 10\u2009mm transumbilical trocar for camera and extraction and three 3\u20135\u2009mm operative trocars.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lymphangiomas arise from mesocolon in 5 giant cases, ileal mesentery in 3 and right adrenal gland in 2. LR was achieved without intraoperative complications and need of conversion in all cases. Two giant cases needed a percutaneous puncture under laparoscopic view to gain working space. A minimal ileal resection by video-assisted procedure was carried out in 2. Median hospital length was 4 days; no recurrence of disease at serial ultrasound examinations was seen at median follow-up of 5.9 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Several approaches have been proposed for AL treatment. The main challenges are the huge dimensions, the difficulty to achieve a complete resection, and the risk of recurrence. In this series, elective LR of ALs resulted as feasible and effective, and we consider it the standard surgical therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lap.2021.0323","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,7]],"date-time":"2021-09-07T12:23:14Z","timestamp":1631017394000},"page":"1367-1371","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Effectiveness of Abdominal Lymphangioma Laparoscopic Removal in Children: A Single Center Experience"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8669-8291","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mirko","family":"Bertozzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Surgery Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Ruffoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Surgery Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4060-2404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabrizio","family":"Vatta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Surgery Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Gazzaneo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Surgery Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5146-1486","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandro","family":"Raffaele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Surgery Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simonetta","family":"Mencherini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Surgery Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanna","family":"Riccipetitoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Surgery Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000020827"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","unstructured":"Fishman SJ.
