In brief
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.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Chyle leakage/ascites after surgical resection of neuroblastic tumors may delay the start of chemotherapy and worsen prognosis. Previous studies have reported a highly variable incidence and risk factors remain largely unknown. This study aims to analyze the true incidence of chyle leaks and ascites and seeks to identify risk factors and optimal treatment strategies.
