Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis after intraperitoneal use of povidone iodine.
The use of intraperitoneal povidone iodine as an agent for peritoneal lavage in colorectal surgery is controversial. Although it possesses a wide range of antimicrobial activity and is rapidly lethal to dissociated colorectal cancer cells in vitro, concern about its potential toxicity remains.. Two cases of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) following elective colorectal surgery are presented. In each case the peritoneal cavity was lavaged with an aqueous povidone iodine solution. The surgical literature on the intraperitoneal use of povidone iodine is reviewed.. Significant morbidity resulted from the postoperative development of SEP in both of our patients. In one patient an ileo-anal pouch could not be fashioned following an initial colectomy, and in the second patient a small-bowel obstruction required a laparotomy and a period of intravenous nutrition before an oral diet could be tolerated.. The use of povidone iodine for peritoneal lavage in colorectal surgery is to be cautioned against in concentrations of > 1%.

Treatment of posttransplant lymphocele with povidone-iodine sclerosis: long-term follow-up.
Percutaneous transcatheter sclerosis with iodate-povidone has been proposed as a treatment of posttransplant lymphocele. We treated 19 lymphoceles with iodate-povidone, 10 of them totally resolved and 6 promptly recurred. Three recurrences were treated conservatively and in 3 the treatment was repeated with success. Therefore, we have a low recurrence and retreatment rate. Our total resolution rate was 100%. Complications due to the treatment were rare. In the long term no patient has developed any renal or perirenal complication related to iodine sclerosis. We conclude that iodine sclerosis is a safe and effective treatment of posttransplant lymphocele. We think that surgical procedures must be reserved to collections adjacent to renal hilum or inaccessible for safe puncturing.
