Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of chylous ascites and a nomogram was established.

Preoperative HAEC, the type of HSCR (long-segment or total colonic aganglionosis), no-preoperative bowel preparation, and anastomotic leaks or strictures were considered important risk factors.
