Lymphocele is a relatively frequent complication of kidney transplantation. A 46-year-old man presented 2 years after kidney transplantation with a giant septated lymphocele. The patient underwent successful laparoscopic drainage of the collection and was discharged home on the day of the procedure. Laparoscopic drainage is a safe and effective treatment for complex lymphocele after kidney transplantation.
