Chylothorax occurring postoperatively in children is found most commonly after cardiovascular operations, but may occur after almost any thoracic procedure. Seven cases of postoperative chylothorax seen at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa from 1976 to 1983 are reported. Two resolved with nonoperative management and five required surgical intervention. The authors discuss the clinical presentation, treatment and outcome. They describe a simple, safe and effective method of ligation of the thoracic duct just above the diaphragm.
