Chyle Leak After Robotic Living Donor Nephrectomy: Literature Review And Management.

ABSTRACT

Chyle leak after living donor nephrectomy is a rare complication and is associated with a significant postoperative burden. To the best of our knowledge, only 1 case of chyle leak after robotic living donor nephrectomy has been reported in the literature. In this study, we present our experience with 2 cases of chyle leak 1 after and 1 during robotic donor nephrectomy. We discuss previously published studies and man - agement options of chyle leak in kidney donors.
