Lymphatic leakage is a relatively rare complication following various surgical procedures. Occasionally, conservative treatments fail to control postoperative lymphatic leakage. Refractory lymphatic leakage causes severe morbidities, including malnutrition, immunodeficiency, and impaired wound healing. Lymphangiography is a useful method for identifying various types of lymphatic leakage. Recently, lipiodol lymphangiography has been popular for its potential therapeutic effects on refractory lymphatic leakage, but this technique remains underdeveloped. This review discusses lymphatic interventional radiology for postoperative lymphatic leakage.
