Drains under the control of sonography in both the lymphatic cavity were set up. Signs of hydronephrosis of both kidneys ceased to be located on the 2nd day after the installation of drains. Drains were removed after 13 days. During further ultrasound examinations of the patient, the lymphocele and signs of hydronephrosis were not rendered. Ultrasound examinations were performed on the 3rd, 7th, 12th, 21st, 35th, 62nd, 145th day after drains were removed.
