However, surgeons should develop more researches in order to reduce the incidence of postoperative chylous fistula. This paper summarizes the current research status of pancreatic postoperative chylous fistula. Key words: Chylous fistula; Pancreaticoduodenectomy; Distal pancreatectomy; Nutrition support
