AB143. SOH24AB_173. The multimodal management of chyle leak post oesophagectomy: conservative, radiological and surgical approaches

Background: Chyle leaks remain a persistent contemporaneous complication post oesophageal oncological resection and can be associated with considerable morbidity and in extreme circumstances mortality. There is no international consensus on its management with conservative/medical, surgical, or interventional radiological (IR) strategies all valid practices depending on expertise and clinical circumstances. Minimally invasive IR procedures as an alternative to thoracic duct ligation are proving popular in recent times, being employed in multiple centres.
