Finding discharge dispositions appeared to be more difficult if patients were ventilated.  Patients admitted to the early pulmonary rehabilitation unit were severely compromised, however quality of outcome was favourable and independent of the breathing status (spontaneously breathing vs. non-invasive ventilation or invasive ventilation). Finding discharge dispositions appeared to be more difficult if patients were ventilated.  Chylothorax is a multifactorial complication, usually caused by surgery or traumatic injury, and more rarely by malignant disease. Because of the lack of prospective, randomised trials, the evidence-based treatment rests upon personal experience, but ideally taking into account retrospective analysis.  The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the currently available modern treatment options. Another aspect is to show their advantages and disadvantages. For this purpose, a literature search was performed using the "PubMed" database. Publications older than ten years were excluded from this review. The literature search employed the keyword "chylothorax". The priority was set on publications including a comparative assessment of treatment approaches. The authors relied on many years of clinical experience to critically analyse and evaluate the treatment options and the given recommendations.  The success rate of the conservative treatment methods ranges widely, depending on the unted conservatively. Subsequently, a more aggressive therapy may be gradually considered, based on the patient's health and the amount of the secretion. Interventional radiological procedures are safe, successful, and have a legitimate place alongside conservative or surgical treatment. However, they are currently only available in some larger centres.  The purpose of this clinical communication is to report the management of common calcaneal
