The author presents a study of the lymphatic system in which he shows the existence of perforating and anastomosing lymphatic vessels in the lower limb, derived from an analysis of 183 cases. He demonstrates the presence of communicating lymphatic vessels and describes six possible variants of the perforating systems, of which four take origin from the superficial system and two from the deep system. The commonest are the superficial perforating lymphatics deriving from the internal saphenous system to rejoin the deep posterior tibial system, these two variants being found in 9.3% of cases. He also describes three systems of communicating vessels, two superficial and one deep. In all, the perforating system is present in 22 cases (12%) and the communicating system in 4 cases (2%).
作者展示了一项关于淋巴系统的研究，通过对183例病例的分析，他发现下肢存在穿通性和吻合性淋巴管。他证实了交通性淋巴管的存在，并描述了穿通系统的六种可能变体，其中四种起源于浅部系统，两种起源于深部系统。最常见的是来自隐静脉系统的浅部穿通淋巴管，它们重新汇入胫后深部系统，这两种变体在9.3%的病例中出现。他还描述了三种交通血管系统，两种浅部的和一种深部的。总体而言，穿通系统在22例病例（12%）中存在，交通系统在4例病例（2%）中存在。
