Thoracoscopic ligation of the thoracic duct

Surgical Endoscopy and Other Interventional Techniques, 1993
Traditional operative management for chylous drainage refractory to conservative therapy is thoracic duct ligation via right open thoracotomy. This case report details successful thoracoscopic ligation of the thoracic duct for a chylous leak following a left neck dissection.

RADIOLOGY OF THE THORACIC DUCT

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1971
The appearance of the thoracic duct was analyzed in 390 sequential lymphangiograms.The classic bulbous dilatation of the cisterna chyli was visualized in 53 per cent of cases. It was located at the T-12 to L-2 levels and was usually less than 5 cm. in length.The thoracic duct varied in size from 1 to 7 mm.

Lymphangioma of the Thoracic Duct

JAMA, 1962
To the Editor:— In 1956, Maurer 1 reported the successful removal of a lymphangioma of the thoracic duct which, as far as we have determined, is the only previous report of this tumor. Our purpose is to report another surgically proven lymphangioma of the thoracic duct presenting, as did Maurer's case, with spontaneous right chylothorax.

Thoracic Duct Injuries

Southern Medical Journal, 1977
Chylous fistulas are an infrequent result of injury to the thoracic duct during radical neck dissection. Leakage of lymph from a fistula which is allowed to persist will cause such serious postoperative problems as metabolic deficiencies, flap elevation, suture breakdown with hemorrhage, and infection.

Evolutionary Significance of the Thoracic Duct

Nature, 1968
I THINK Dumont and Rifkind1 are mistaken in explaining their interesting observations on the rudimentary condition of the thoracic duct in bats, New World monkeys and sloths. They suggest that “the unique functional characteristic shared by all three species is nothing more than the habit of hanging upside down …”.

Thoracic Duct Lymph Dialysis

Archives of Surgery, 1969
Thoracic-duct lymph drainage has recently received attention as the preoperative treatment before renal homotransplantation in man. 1-3 Singh et al 4 demonstrated a prolongation of homograft survival time upon thoracic-duct lymph drainage during renal homotransplantation in dogs.

An instrument for cannulation of the thoracic duct

The Laryngoscope, 1973
AbstractA new thoracic duct cannulation needle has been created by modifying a Vim‐Silverman biopsy needle. Its use in 10 experiments is described. The needle was shown to facilitate cannulation by preventing lymph leakage and duct collapse. It allowed recannulation of the duct when the cannula clotted during long‐term thoracic duct drainage.

Spontaneous thoracic duct cyst

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2003
Spontaneous and asymptomatic supraclavicular thoracic duct cysts (lymphoceles ) are rare. Only five cases have been reported so far. They are more common after surgery or trauma and have been reported in the abdomen, mediastinum, pelvis and neck. They must be differentiated from other neck cysts as failure to recognise their attachment may result in ...

Thoracic Duct Malformations

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1986
A patient with lower extremity lymphedema studied with lymphoscintigraphy is described. Radionuclide lymphography demonstrated several thoracic duct malformations that were confirmed by contrast lymphography.

Visualization of the thoracic duct by lymphoscintigraphy

European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 1987
Imaging of the thoracic duct is usually performed by radiological lymphography. However, this procedure, which uses an oil based dye injected directly into the lymph channels, has some adverse effects. In this paper we note that lymphoscintigraphy, a physiological and non invasive method, may visualize thoracic duct abnormalities, and might be ...
