It also provides recommendations for future research and clinical practice
This is likely if the veins are causing symptoms
Seventeen of 21 postoperative lymphoceles (81%) were treated successfully by initial percutaneous catheter drainage and doxycycline sclerotherapy
Materials and methods: Symptomatic postoperative lymphoceles (n = 21) in 18 patients were treated by percutaneous tube drainage for an
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of doxycycline in the treatment of LMs
Percutaneous ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy using doxycycline is a minimally invasive treatment option of LM in the head and neck region with satisfactory
LM sclerotherapy using self-compounded doxycycline tablets is a safe, effective, and low-cost therapeutic option in LMICs
Malignant pleural effusions are frequent contributors to morbidity in patients with a variety
However, when cysts enlarge, become infected, bleed, or undergo torsion, they can be symptomatic, and percutaneous drainage can be effective in the management
Results: Ten pediatric patients underwent 21 sclerotherapy sessions with a mean of 2
Although many sclerosing agents are available, ethanol is the most commonly used because it is safe, readily available, and Sclerotherapy was cost-effective for improving quality of life for patients with Venous Malformations
15 The use of sclerosants can be attempted for treating certain cases before a surgical The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the outcome and efficacy of using doxycycline in treating macrocystic, microcystic and combined macro- and microcystic LMs in a tertiary-care pediatric center

Approximately 1 hour later, the sclerosing agent and catheter are removed
Introduction Sclerotherapy is the process of injecting a proinflammatory agent into an enlarged potential space (e
The patient therefore underwent sclerotherapy with doxycycline but continued to have swelling and drainage of 150–200 cc/day, requiring additional sclerotherapy with STS 4 weeks later
Treatment of such lesions is still not well established
Materials and Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent hydro-cele aspiration and sclerotherapy were analyzed in a retrospective cohort study consecutive patients with malar edema and/or festoons injected with doxycycline hyclate at a concentration of 10 mg/ml
This algorithm was based upon our group's previous successful experience with higher dosages of doxycycline for larger intrascrotal fluid
Sclerotherapy has been demonstrated as an effective and less invasive method for LMs, and satisfactory results have been obtained with various sclerosants with certain curative results and some limitations and side effects for each of these agents, including OK-432 (Picibanil), doxycycline, absolute alcohol (99
Doxycycline is also used for sclerotherapy in slow-flow vascular malformations, namely venous and lymphatic malformations, as well as post-operative lymphoceles
Conclusion: Sclerotherapy appears to be effective and safe for recurrent seromas
