Summary
The case reports are presented by two patients who had to undergo surgery for severe
recurrent varicosis. In the postoperative course, large and clinically relevant lymphocysts
developed. Despite intensive conservative therapy, it progressed. Due to the pronounced
findings, the indication for operative cyst resection was asked. The subsequent postoperative
course was uncomplicated and there was complete restitution. In principle, operations
with recurrent varicosis are expected to be twice as likely to cause postoperative
lymphatic complications.
