No | Sex | Weight(kg) | Age (M.D) | Congenital | Days 1 | Mean drainage Volume | Preoperative eating | Outcome |

- Note:
- Congenital: whether or not CA occurred in the gestation period
- Days 1: days before surgery. Age (M.D): age (year, month and day)
- Octreotide: all the patients received octreotide treatment before the operation (dose was 1 to 5 µg/kg/h, starting dose 1 ug/kg/h). Preoperative eating: Once a patient decided to undergo the surgical procedures, milk or food intake were freely allowed for three days before the surgery
- Outcome
- Not cured: the patient’s drainage tubes could not be removed because of the volume of ascites fluid two weeks after the surgery
- Partially cured: the drainage tube could be removed, and there was still ascitic fluid, but it did not affect normal feeding (MCT milk or low-fat diet)
- Completely cured: patients were fed a normal diet with no ascites (MCT milk or low-fat diet)
