Abstract

We report a case of Chylous ascites after whole pelvis suspension and to discuss the possible reasons. An 85-year-old female patient with anterior vaginal prolapse IV (AVP IV), vaginal vault proplapse IV and posterior vaginal prolapse IV (PVP IV), developed Chylous ascites 2 weeks after she received whole pelvis suspension. The cause of chylous ascites in the present case was not associated with malignant tumor, hepatic cirrhosis, or inflammation. Therefore, surgical trauma may be considered the cause of disorder. X-ray lymphangioadenography should be performed to draw a final conclusion.
