Abstract

Median arcuate ligament release (MALR) remains the standard treatment for median arcuate ligament syndrome. Although MALR is a safe procedure, complications are inherent to any surgical practice, and as such, surgeons performing this procedure need to be cognizant of the possible problems that can arise during or after the operation. The overall 30-day complication rate for the procedure can be up to 20%, while some of the complications are common to any abdominal operation, some are specific to MALR, including major bleeding, capnothorax, and chylous ascites.
