    Laparoscopic catheterization with bleomycin quadruple sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for massive retroperitoneal lymphatic malformations.

  • 2

    The study involved 5 pediatric patients, all of whom completed treatment without conversion to open surgery or significant complications.

  • 3

    Mean operation time was 128 minutes, with minimal blood loss and a short hospital stay averaging 12 days.

  • 4

    All patients achieved clinical cure with complete radiographic resolution and no recurrence during a median follow-up of 46 months.

  • 5

    This minimally invasive approach overcomes limitations of traditional treatments, offering a standardized protocol for managing complex rLMs.
