Successful outpatient conservative management of chyle leak after laparoscopic left hemicolectomy

We present the case of a 60-year-old female with chyle leak after laparoscopic left hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision who underwent successful outpatient conservative management. We found no other cases of successful conservative outpatient treatment in the consulted literature. Adequate outpatient management may provide significant benefits by reducing hospital costs and improving patient´s quality of life, while maintaining the possibility of starting adjuvant treatment if indicated.PMID:37994840 | DOI:10.23938/ASSN.1051
