Chylous ascites in gynecologic malignancies: cases report and literature review

Abstract: Chylous ascites should be included in differential diagnosis of abdominal distention after surgical retroperitoneal approach or radiotherapy. Most of the patients may have their chylous ascites successfully treated with conservative management. However, the best policy is to prevent chylous complications by employing meticulous dissection techniques and careful control of the major lymphatics by suture ligation during the primary surgical intervention.
