The positive effect of these diets and TPN is some reduction in
chyle flow, and this may help seal the leak.
The composition of
chyle is key in determining appropriate patient management of a persistent effusion (see Table 2).
A 50 ml syringe was used to manually aspirate the
chyle from E.T's pleural space and slowly reinfuse it back into his circulatory system by way of the extracorporeal circuit.

Although pure
chyle is white and opaque in appearance, it has been reported that 50% of chylous effusions do not have a milky/cloudy appearance upon gross examination, (4).
Some measure of that complexity to be taken up in this essay could be put this way: Whitman's seemingly simple rejection of Emerson's metaphorical, bloodless "
chyle" turns out to be no mere metaphor at all, but a crucial metonymy that Whitman learns from Emerson.
(11 12) The incidence of
chyle leaks following neck dissection has been estimated to range from 1 to 5.8%.
His ideas about the formation of
chyle were vague, although he found components in it reminiscent of blood, including "white globules" and a coagulable fluid (15).
Although the incidence of
chyle fistula post surgery is low (1%-4%), this complication can present significant challenges including fuid and electrolyte abnormalities, malnutrition, and overwhelming infections, including peritonitis and empyema (2, 3).

It is our practice to follow a low-fat diet that is regularly advanced over four weeks to minimize the risk of
chyle leak.
Postoperative complications were defined as one or more of the following cases occurring postoperatively: postoperative bleeding (anastomosis and abdominal cavity) [18], incision infection [19], anastomotic leak [20], pancreatic fistula [21], duodenal stump fistula [22],
chyle leak [23], abdominal infection [19], delayed gastric emptying [24], postoperative ileus [25, 26], postoperative pneumonia [9, 27], cardiovascular complications, liver complications, and urinary complications.
