  • Title: Thoracoscopic thoracic duct ligation for traumatic chylothorax.
    Author: Buchan KG, Hosseinpour AR, Ritchie AJ.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2001 Oct; 72(4):1366-7. PubMed ID: 11603464.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic chylothorax requires surgical intervention when conservative medical management fails to reduce chyle leakage. This usually entails thoracotomy or laparotomy. We report a case in which successful ligation of a torn thoracic duct was achieved using a video-assisted thoracoscopic technique.
