Impact of enhanced chest CT with three-dimensional reconstruction combined with preoperative olive oil administration on the incidence of postoperative chylothorax: a retrospective study
This study reveals that preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction of chest using enhanced CT allows for the anticipation of thoracic duct anatomy. Additionally, the combination of preoperative oral olive oil administration significantly enhances the intraoperative visualization of the thoracic duct. This integrated strategy effectively reduces the incidence of postoperative chylothorax, demonstrating promising clinical application prospects.
