Park I, et al. - The goal of this paper was to inspect the incidence and pattern of chyle leakage after thyroidectomy and/or cervical lymph node dissection. Furthermore, the researchers intended to establish the management protocols for chyle leakage. It was noted that the occurrence of chyle leakage after central compartment dissection even without lateral neck dissection was not rare. However, it appeared to be easily controlled with the aid of conservative management. Surgical management ought to be taken into account if the drainage amount did not decrease by >50% of the original amount of the day of detection, after 2 days of NPO.
