The value of lymphography in the clinical treatment of lymphatic edemas is examined. Since its invention by Hernani Monteiro, lymphography has not enjoyed the same success as clinical phlebography, which has benefited from anatomical and physiological knowledge and has clarified several problems. Great gaps still exist in our knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and physiopathology of the lymphatic system, and this explains the limited development of lymphography so far, and the difficulty of interpreting and characterizing cases of lymphatic stasis. This situation has also hindered the development of logical and effective therapies. We believe that new techniques should be developed for use in lymphography, as was necessary in phlebography.
本文探讨了淋巴管造影术在淋巴水肿临床治疗中的价值。自埃尔纳尼·蒙泰罗发明淋巴管造影术以来，它并未像临床静脉造影术那样取得成功，后者受益于解剖学和生理学知识，已经阐明了几个问题。我们对淋巴系统的解剖学、生理学和病理生理学的认识仍然存在很大差距，这解释了迄今为止淋巴管造影术发展有限的原因，以及解释和描述淋巴淤积病例的困难。这种情况也阻碍了合理有效的治疗方法的发展。我们认为，应该开发新技术用于淋巴管造影术，就像静脉造影术所必需的那样。
