Postoperative chylothorax
Supplements studied for postoperative chylothorax.
Overview
Olive Oil is the only supplement listed for postoperative chylothorax, with low-strength evidence from one early study. Patients who drank 100 mL of olive oil about eight hours before esophageal cancer surgery had no chylothorax cases versus about 3% in those who did not.
