Chylothorax is a potentially serious condition that may complicate a variety of thoracic operations, particularly cardiothoracic procedures for congenital heart disease. Conservative therapy with chest tube drainage of the chyle fluid and dietary manipulations is frequently effective. When conservative treatment fails, surgery may be necessary. In this report, the authors discuss their recent experience with fibrin glue in the management of a 600-g premature neonate who had a postoperative chylothorax. Recent trends in the management of this difficult problem are also discussed.
乳糜胸是一种可能严重的病症，可能使各种胸部手术复杂化，尤其是先天性心脏病的心胸手术。采用胸腔闭式引流乳糜液及饮食调整的保守治疗通常有效。当保守治疗失败时，可能需要进行手术。在本报告中，作者讨论了他们近期使用纤维蛋白胶治疗一名术后发生乳糜胸的600克早产新生儿的经验。还讨论了该难题治疗的近期趋势。
