Description
Veronica Canon and co-authors reported this 2025 study on a stubborn leak that can follow groin surgery. Lymph fluid sometimes keeps draining from the wound long after the operation. Usual care, such as pressure and rest, fixes most cases. A few refuse to close, and those patients face infection and long hospital stays.
The team reviewed 43 such patients treated at one hospital between 2008 and 2018. All got low-dose radiation aimed at the leak, given in five small sessions. Every patient's leak closed fully. Three needed a second round of the same treatment to finish the job. No patient showed early or late harm from the radiation. The authors present the low dose as a safe fallback when standard care fails.
