Chyle leak is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication associated with pancreatectomy. An important distinction should be made between chylous ascites and a contained chyle leak since the mortality from the former is significantly higher. Most chyle leaks will resolve within a few weeks of ...
Post-operative chyle leak is a rare but recognised complication after abdominal surgeries particularly those involving dissection adjacent to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes and/or lymphatic systems. There are limited cases of post-operative chyle leak associated with adrenal surgery reported in the literat...
Conclusion: Chylothorax arising after esophageal resection with a flow rate of leak of more than 500 ml/day should be proposed to an earlier surgical treatment. Lymphangiography remains a key stone assessment with a double aim diagnostic and therapeutic in chyle leakage....

Haemostasis must be meticulous, as bleeding or chyle leak from the bed of station 7 or 4R can result in an unplanned return to the operating theatre. I use endoscopic clips liberally, although an ultrasonic or other haemostatic energy source could be employed as an alternative. In particular,...
This chapter focuses on surgical interventions for treating chyle reflux. As with many areas of vascular medicine, multidisciplinary management is the norm, with surgeons, medical specialists, and interventional radiologists all playing important roles. An understanding of chyle transportation from the bowel...
Chyle leak developed following radical neck dissection performed for recurrent metastatic cervical lymph nodes. The patient was initially managed conservatively using head end elevation, use of stool softeners, medium chain fatty acid diet and octreotide therapy. Howe...
Introduction : Chyle leak is a well recognised complication following neck dissection with a reported incidence between 1 and 3%. A high output fistula can result in fluid and electrolyte disturbance, immunosuppression, chylothorax, wound breakdown and sepsis. Inappropriate management is associated with ...

Management of chyle leak is conservative with compression dressing, fat restricted diet, somatostatin analogues. Surgery is required in extreme cases with failure of conservative treatment. This is a retrospective observational study carried out from a prospectively maintained database. A total of 6482 ...
