Chylous leakage is an unusual complication following anterior spinal surgery. This leakage can occur as a result of traumatic injury to the thoracic duct, the cisterna chyli, or the retroperitoneal lymphatic vessels. The authors present case reports of three patients who underwent anterior spinal surgical procedures inadvertently complicated by an injury to the lymphatic system. All patients were managed nonoperatively with tube drainage and hyperalimentation and had uneventful recoveries.
乳糜漏是脊柱前路手术后一种罕见的并发症。这种渗漏可能是由于胸导管、乳糜池或腹膜后淋巴管受到创伤性损伤所致。作者报告了3例接受脊柱前路手术的患者,这些手术无意中因淋巴系统损伤而出现并发症。所有患者均通过置管引流和肠外营养进行非手术治疗,恢复过程顺利。
