In children, chylothorax occurs mainly after cardiac and thoracic surgeries. One of the recommended postsurgery treatments is ligation of the thoracic tract, when all other conservative treatments have failed. We report 4 cases of chylothorax in patients who were successfully treated with this approach, which resulted in a decrease in pleural drainage without recurrent chylothorax.
在儿童中，乳糜胸主要发生在心脏和胸部手术后。当所有其他保守治疗均失败时，推荐的术后治疗方法之一是结扎胸导管。我们报告了4例采用这种方法成功治疗的乳糜胸患者，结果胸腔引流量减少，且未出现复发性乳糜胸。
