Comments on Algorithmic Approach to the Lymphatic Leak after Vascular Reconstruction: A Systematic Review.

We read with interest the article published in the July issue of the Journal, “Algorithmic approach to the lymphatic leak after vascular reconstruction: a systematic review.”[1] We would like to congratulate Dr. Nicksic and his coauthors for the overview of current literature describing lymphatic leak treatment approach after vascular reconstruction. We particularly appreciated the efforts the authors deployed to present a review of a complicated topic, where no international consensus exists between conservative or operative management.[2] Importantly, authors screened the literature in the aim to match patient's conditions and preoperative risk factors to the leak treatment, defining a clear treatment algorithm.
