Abstract:

Chylous ascites is an uncommon type of ascites that is typically linked to infections, operations, cirrhosis, and abdominal cancers. We reported a case of chylous ascites following robotic laparoscopic prostatectomy (PLDN-RALP), in which SPECT/CT lymphoscintigraphy provided the accurate diagnosis. Following surgery, a 72-year-old man developed chylous ascites and had Using radiolabeled albumin nanocolloids in lymphoscintigraphy to identify a potential leaking point and do additional lymph flow analysis.The left iliac region’s lymph stasis and abdominal effusion were visible on the scintigraphic imaging. The evaluation of chylous illnesses can be resolved by combining planar imaging with SPECT/ CT.
Keywords: SPECT/CT, robotic laparoscopic prostatectomy, lymphoscintigraphy, lymph stasis, and chylous ascites.
