This study aimed to analyse the results of chyle fistula testing using the SD LipidoCare system in patients who had undergone neck dissections performed in our hospital in 2019.
Sixty patients who underwent neck dissections from March 2019 to November 2019 were identified based on their medical records.
Post-operative chyle fistulas were observed in 3 of 60 patients (5 per cent). All patients who developed chyle fistulas had undergone left-sided neck dissections. Within 3 minutes, the SD LipidoCare test had produced triglyceride results of 49, 56 and 207 mg/dl in the three patients. The remaining 57 patients measured 'low' for triglycerides on the SD LipidoCare test system.
The SD LipidoCare test quickly and accurately diagnosed chyle fistulas in patients who had undergone neck dissections. All patients improved with conservative treatment following the early diagnosis of chyle fistulas.
本研究旨在分析 2019 年在我院行颈部清扫术的患者使用 SD LipidoCare 系统进行乳糜瘘检测的结果。
根据病历确定了 2019 年 3 月至 11 月间进行颈部清扫术的 60 名患者。
60 名患者中有 3 名（5%）出现术后乳糜瘘。所有发生乳糜瘘的患者均行左侧颈部清扫术。在 3 分钟内，SD LipidoCare 检测在 3 名患者中分别产生了 49、56 和 207mg/dl 的甘油三酯结果。SD LipidoCare 检测系统中其余 57 名患者的甘油三酯检测结果均为“低”。
SD LipidoCare 检测系统能够快速准确地诊断颈部清扫术后发生乳糜瘘的患者。所有患者在早期诊断为乳糜瘘后，经保守治疗均得到改善。
