Thoracoscopic ligation of thoracic duct for spontaneous chylothorax.
Spontaneous chylothorax, without a predisposing factor is an uncommon cause of pleural effusion beyond the neonatal period. We present a case of left sided spontaneous chylothorax in a 20-month-old boy. We report successful management of this difficult problem with thoracoscopic ligation of thoracic duct after a failed trial with conservative management.

متن کاملThoracoscopic Thoracic Duct Ligation for Congenital and Acquired Disease.
PURPOSE Congenital and acquired chylothorax presents a unique management challenge in neonates and infants. A failure of conservative therapy requires surgical ligation to prevent continued fluid and protein losses. This article examines a 15-year experience with thoracoscopic ligation of the thoracic duct. PATIENTS AND METHODS From June 1999 to December 2013, 21 patients presented with chylo...
متن کاملInfluence of thoracic duct ligation on the lipid metabolism of patients with esophageal carcinoma after esophagectomy.
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of thoracic duct ligation on the lipid metabolism of patients with esophageal carcinoma after esophagectomy. A total of 74 patients with esophageal carcinoma who underwent esophagectomy were divided into 2 groups according to whether or not their thoracic duct was ligated. Thirty-nine patients were in the thoracic duct ligation group and the ...
