Although thoracic duct injury is an uncommon complication of neck dissection, it can have a significant physiological and immunological impact on the patient's recovery as well as having more serious effects. We report a novel technique of using cyanoacrylate tissue glue for managing thoracic duct damage when this is noted at the time of neck dissection surgery. We have used this technique in four patients with no post-operative chyle leak or added complications.
尽管胸导管损伤是颈部清扫术罕见的并发症，但它会对患者的恢复产生重大的生理和免疫影响，甚至会产生更严重的后果。我们报告了一种在颈部清扫手术中发现胸导管损伤时使用氰基丙烯酸酯组织胶处理的新技术。我们已将此技术应用于4例患者，术后均未出现乳糜漏或其他并发症。
