Background: Gynaecologic chylous reflux is a rare condition with significant impact on patient quality of life and nutritional status. While no long-term treatment options have been successful this article looks at the possibility of using robotic-assisted surgical management as a less invasive option for treatment. Case Report: This patient had milky vaginal discharge which contained high levels of triglycerides. A robot-assisted pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed which resulted in resolution of discharge for eight months before returning to pre-surgical volume. Symptoms significantly improved after a second operation and dietary modification. Conclusion: Robot-assisted lymphadenectomy may be a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of primary gynaecological chylous reflux. |
