Traumatic chylothorax and chyloperitoneum are rare conditions. Surgical interventions and novel procedures can effectively manage these lymphatic effusions, leading to patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Sciences
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Traumatic chylothorax and chyloperitoneum are uncommon but serious conditions.
  • They can arise from severe chest trauma, posterior mediastinum surgery, or cardiovascular procedures.
  • Chyloperitoneum often follows minor or obscure injuries and can mimic acute abdomen.

Purpose:

  • To report on the diagnosis and management of traumatic chylothorax and chyloperitoneum.
  • To present novel surgical techniques for treating relapsing chyloperitoneum.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and treatment outcomes.

Summary:

  • The study details cases of traumatic chylothorax and chyloperitoneum.
  • One case of chylothorax post-patent ductus arteriosus operation was managed conservatively.

  • Three patients with chyloperitoneum underwent surgery, with two requiring repeat laparotomy. Novel procedures included abdominal-posterior mediastinum communication and lymphatic vessel ligation.
  • All patients successfully recovered.

    • Impact:

    • This research contributes to understanding rare lymphatic effusion syndromes.
    • It introduces innovative surgical strategies for refractory chyloperitoneum.
    • The findings underscore the importance of timely diagnosis and tailored surgical intervention for improved patient outcomes.
