Chylous ascites due to lymphorrhea is one of the complications following abdominal oncologic surgery. Chylous ascites requires long-term treatment and leads to a delay in additional treatment. We tried to detect and prevent chylous ascites. A 46-year-old woman with endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer underwent laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection and para-aortic lymph node (b1) dissection. She was fed milk as a high-fat diet 3 hours before the surgery. We could successfully detected chyle leakage after b1 dissection and performed clipping.
