- 4. Total Thyroidectomy + L/S Selective Neck Dissection done • Level VI LN clearance done • L/S Level II, III, IV, Vb • 2 drains placed – Thyroid bed & Posterior Triangle • Histology – Papillary CA + 5/25 LN positive
- 5. • Post op Day 1 – No voice change No hypocalcemic features Drain = 95ml • Post op Day 3 – Drain = 315ml ? Chyle leak • Post op Day 5 – Drain = 650 ml – High output chyle leak (>500ml)
- 6. Conservative Management • Prop up – 45o • S/C Octreotide 100 mcg tds • Nutritional referral – Medium chain fatty acid diet • IV Cefuroxime 750mg tds • Lactulose • Tight dressing • Suction drain • Hydration • No hyponatremia, hypochloremia & clotting derangement

- 10. Literature Review • Intraoperative identification Valsalva maneuver Manual abdominal compression • Conservative management Diet – MCFA + Orlistat TPN – High out put Compression dressing – controversial Octreotide • Topical agents – Sclerosing agents Fibrin glue
