  • Title: Chylous ascites following abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy. Management with total parenteral hyperalimentation.
    Author: Meinke AH, Estes NC, Ernst CB.
    Journal: Ann Surg; 1979 Nov; 190(5):631-3. PubMed ID: 116606.
    Abstract:
    Chylous ascites may follow operative injury to retroperitoneal lymphatics. When possible, early reoperation has been advised. This report describes a patient with chylous ascites following emergency abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy. Because the patient was not a candidate for reoperation, total parenteral hyperalimentation was employed in management. This approach resulted in a successful outcome.
