Article Synopsis
- Chylous ascites is a rare condition that can occur after hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeries like ALPPS, and no previous cases have been documented in the literature for this specific procedure.
- The condition involves an abnormal buildup of lymphatic fluid in the abdomen, typically caused by injury or obstruction in the lymphatic system.
- A case study of a 49-year-old woman with colon cancer revealed chylous ascites post-ALPPS, diagnosed through high triglyceride levels in drainage fluid; medical management included dietary changes and medication, leading to successful treatment.

Objective: To determine if the suture length to wound length ratio 4:1 for wall closure decreases the incidence of hernia.
Material And Methods: Data from patients (n = 86) in whom abdominal wall closure was performed from August 2017 to January 2018 were prospectively reviewed.
