Conclusion
We report a case of successful conservative management of postoperative
chylothorax following the repair of late presenting CDH. The treatment
of choice for postoperative chylothorax is debatable. However, our case
report highlights that chylous output up to 26ml/kg/day can also be
treated conservatively. Surgery needs not to be the first-choice option
for the management of postoperative chylothorax.
