Abstract

La formación de la fístula de quilo es una complicación seria después de la cirugía de cuello. Esta enfermedad puede conducir a serios problemas respiratorios, metabólicos y nutricionales. En general, la incidencia reportada está en el orden de 1 a 2,5% de los casos y de éstos un 75 a 80% ocurren en el lado izquierdo y en un 20 a 25% en el lado derecho. Cuando esta situación se presenta su manejo permanece controversial por los diferentes especialistas.
