Chyluria is a rare disease outside of parasite endemic zones. The treatment of severe forms is surgical. Reno-lymphatic disconnection is the reference procedure, with long-term success rates of 99%. This operation performed via a lumbar incision can also be performed by retroperitoneal or transperitoneal laparoscopy. The advantages of this minimally invasive incision are those classically reported in the literature.
