This is the first report describing the use of robotic technology for the treatment of chylothorax. We present a 22-year-old with mixed embryonal cell and seminoma germ cell cancer refractory to medical and surgical treatment. The patient had rising markers and a growing left lower lung lobe metastasis. After left lower lobectomy, left-sided chylothorax developed. Conservative management failed, and a robotic right-sided thoracic duct ligation was performed. Other treatment options are reviewed.
这是首篇描述使用机器人技术治疗乳糜胸的报告。我们报告一名22岁患有混合性胚胎细胞和精原细胞瘤性生殖细胞癌的患者，其对药物和手术治疗均无效。该患者的标志物不断升高，左下肺叶转移灶不断增大。在左下肺叶切除术后，出现了左侧乳糜胸。保守治疗失败后，实施了机器人辅助右侧胸导管结扎术。本文还对其他治疗选择进行了综述。
