    Author: Patsiora MD, Tsatsa-nidi KN, Lebezev VW.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1978; 103(12):776-80. PubMed ID: 685544.
    Abstract:
    The technique of the thoracic duct drainage is described. The importance of preserving the natural lymph outflow is emphasized. A method of controlled thoracic duct drainage is introduced that permits dosaged exteriorization of the lymph and additional internal drainage of the lymph into the veins via an external bypass for a long period of time. The results of the employment of controlled thoracic duct drainage in 33 patients are presented. A clear clinical effect was received in 65% of the cases. The authors conclude that controlled drainage of the thoracic duct is an effective method of treatment.
