[Transgastric lymphadenography].

The transgastric lymphadenography technique carried out by the endoscopic route in 52 patients at the Digestive Endoscopy Centre of the 3rd Surgical Clinic of Rome University is described. On the basis of personal results it is considered that transgastric lymphadenography represents an interesting technique for the study of perigastric lymphnodes in normal and pathologic conditions. It is thought that it could also be useful in the study of the abdominal lymphatics although further verification and a larger series are necessary.
