Operative Management of Intra-abdominal Lymphatic Malformations in Children: A Single Tertiary Center Experience

In brief

This study evaluates surgical outcomes for intraperitoneal lymphatic malformations in pediatric patients at a single tertiary center. The research focuses on resection techniques and postoperative results for these rare congenital abdominal lesions, providing insights for surgical management strategies.

• Intra-abdominal lymphatic malformations are rare congenital anomalies classified as intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal.
• Surgical resection is a primary treatment modality for intraperitoneal LMs in pediatric patients.
• Single-center tertiary experience provides outcome data to guide management decisions for these uncommon lesions.
• Complete surgical excision remains the goal to prevent recurrence and complications in pediatric intra-abdominal LMs.
