Focusing on chylous ascites: a noteworthy complication after laparoscopic/robotic para-aortic lymphadenectomy in left-sided colorectal cancer in a high-volume single center
Postoperative chylous ascites represents a common and significant complication after laparoscopic/robotic PALN dissection for CRC surgery. PNI ≤ 46, ICG fluorescence imaging guidance, and total LN retrieval are independent risk factors. The use of ICG fluorescence during surgery and total retrieved PALNs are correlated with the prolonged resolution of chylous ascites. Further study is needed to validate these findings.
