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.
