Transabdominal mass ligation of the thoracic duct for the prevention of chylothorax following en bloc oesophagectomy.

Jens Hoeppner1, Ulrich Theodor Hopt.   

Abstract

The occurrence of a postoperative chylothorax after en bloc oesophagectomy for cancer is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication. In this study, we describe the technique of transabdominal mass ligation of the thoracic duct as an elective, simple and safe method for the prevention of postoperative chylothorax.
