Renal pedicle lymphatic ligation for non-parasitic chyluria via retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery: a single-center 12-year experience.

ABSTRACT: Chyluria is a rare disease in which chylous is excreted in the urine. Currently, management of chyluria includes conservative treatments and surgical measures. This study aimed to report our experience in treating non-parasitic chyluria with retroperitoneal laparoscopic ligation of the renal lymphatic vessels. Data from 52 patients who underwent retroperitoneoscopic ligation of the renal lymphatic vessels for non-parasitic chyluria between December 2009 and May 2022 were reviewed. After general anesthesia, the patients were passively placed in the healthy lateral decubitus position and underwent three-port retroperitoneal laparoscopy. Detailed medical data, including demographic characteristics, intraoperative outcomes, postoperative data, and complications, were reviewed. Fifty-two patien
