Thoracoscopic thoracic duct ligation for traumatic chylothorax.

K G Buchan1, A R Hosseinpour, A J Ritchie.   

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.
