This is a new one to me.
Patient was placed in a semi-sitting position. The area was then prepped and draped in standard surgical fashion. I proceeded to infiltrate local anesthesia at the site where a large gauge needle that was attached to a 3 way stopcock used to aspirate the fluid from the lymphangioma which completely collapsed the cavity. I had already secured a 10 cc syring of 100 mg of Doxycycline and 10 cc of saline into that syringe. This as then used to instill about 8 cc of Doxycycline at this concentration back into the cavity. Once this was completed the needle was then withdrawn. The area was then cleaned and dried and a sterile dressing was then applied. Patient tolerated the procedure well. I have asked him to reduce his activity over the next couple of days. He is to follow back up in a month to reevaluate. We may proceed with another sclerotherapy treatment.
Any takers????? Thanks in advance.
