Abstract: Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of high negative pressure drainage for chylous fistula after neck dissection. Methods: A total of 245 cases were subjected to neck dissection. Among them, 4 cases produced chylous fistula. Then they were subjected to high negative pressure drainage and local pressure dressing. The maximal production of chylous fistula was about 600 ml/d. Results: The occurrence rate of chylous fistula after neck dissection was 1. 63 %(4/245). After high negative pressure drainage and local pressure dressing, all were cured in two weeks. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and high negative pressure drainage and local pressure dressing for chylous fistula is effective and safe .
