Experiments have been carried out in the pig. Small bowel and its mesentery are rich in lymphatics. A pedicle of ileum (opened and denuded of its mucosa) and its mesentery has been used to bypass lymphatic obstruction. Diversion of lymphatic drainage from the lower limb into the lymphatics of the bridge has been demonstrated lymphographically in the living animals and also by post mortem injection studies.
已在猪身上进行了实验。小肠及其系膜富含淋巴管。一段回肠（打开并去除其黏膜）及其系膜已被用于绕过淋巴梗阻。在活体动物中通过淋巴管造影以及死后注射研究均已证实，下肢的淋巴引流可转向桥的淋巴管。
