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.

This single study requires confirmation. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below.
