title: Chylous ascites after liver transplantation with mesentero-portal jump graft.
abstract: Chylous effusions and lymphatic leaks occur after trauma, malignant disease, primary lymphatic disorders, and parasitosis, and rarely after abdominal surgery. Chylous ascites after orthotopic liver transplantation is a rare complication.
