This systematic review examines chyle leak incidence and risk factors following neuroblastoma resection, a complication that can delay chemotherapy and impact patient outcomes. The study addresses inconsistent reporting in the literature to establish true incidence rates and identify optimal management strategies for this postoperative complication.
