A high-output chyle leak developed in a 69-year-old man who had undergone pleurectomy and decortication for malignant pleural mesothelioma. Conservative treatment was unsuccessful while a clear area of leakage could not be identified on lymphangiography. Right-sided robotic reexploration with ligation of the thoracic duct was successfully performed. The patient was discharged 6 days later, and no recurrence was observed.
