    (2023) Tirnova, Ismail; Alim, Altan; Vehbi, Sezan; Demir, Baris; Akbulut, Akin; Karatas, Cihan; Kanmaz, Turan; 0000-0003-4488-1607; 37503801; ISB-9235-2023
    Objectives: Chylothorax without chylous ascites after liver transplant is rare. We present 2 cases of isolated chylothorax after liver transplant and a literature review. Materials and Methods: We compiled a literature review of chylothorax cases after abdominal surgery and analyzed the cases related to liver transplant. The demographic information, follow-up results, and treatment details of our 2 cases of chylothorax after living-donor pediatric liver transplant were discussed. Results: An 8-month-old child and a 15-month-old child with cholestatic liver disease and urea cycle defect, respectively, underwent living-donor left lateral segment liver transplant. Patients who presented with chylothorax after discharge were treated conservatively. Conclusions: Isolated chylothorax is rare complication after abdominal surgery, which is mostly possible to treat with conservative methods. Interventional procedures and a surgical approach should only be performed in resistant cases when conservative treatment has failed.
