Lymphography was used to investigate nine patients who presented with chylothorax after surgery of the thorax. Leakage of the lipiodol was identified from the thoracic duct in six patients and from tributaries of the thoracic duct in two patients. There was complete occlusion of the thoracic duct at the site of injury in two patients but leakage could not be visualized at the time of the procedure. The different methods of treatment of chylothorax and the influence of the lymphographic findings on management are discussed.
采用淋巴管造影术对9例胸部手术后出现乳糜胸的患者进行了研究。6例患者的乳糜微粒油剂从胸导管漏出，2例患者的乳糜微粒油剂从胸导管的分支漏出。2例患者胸导管在损伤部位完全闭塞，但在手术过程中未发现漏出情况。本文讨论了乳糜胸的不同治疗方法以及淋巴管造影结果对治疗的影响。
