    ObjectiveThis study evaluated the safety and efficacy of Stilamin (Somatostatin) in the treatment of lymphatic leaks after living-related renal transplanatation.MethodsTwenty-four patients with lymphatic leaks after kidney transplantation were recruited. All patients were treated with Stilamin and the drainage recorded.ResultsThe incidence of lymphatic leaks after kidney transplantation was 3.5% usually occurring in 3-9 days after operation. Stilamin decreased the drainage dramatically and shortened the time of wound healing. In most cases, lymphatic fluid outflow was reduced by 50% after 1 day of stilamin treatment. No major adverse reactions were found except temporary hyperglycemia.ConclusionsStilamin administration is a safe and effective treatment for lymphorrhea after kidney transplanation.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
