Percutaneous aspirations of perirenal collections under ultrasonographic control is a safe and simple therapeutic and diagnostic procedure in patients who have developed lymphoceles after renal transplantation. The diagnostic and therapeutic yield is far superior to any other method, short of surgical exploration. We encountered no complications in our cases. The technique is described in detail.
