Abstract

Traditional surgical management of chylothorax refractory to conservative treatment is thoracic duct ligation through a right open thoracotomy. A new surgical procedure of ligation of the thoracic duct via extrapleural approach is presented. Its advantages are less invasive, no need of a new drainage tube, and easier to expose the thoracic duct than the conventional transthoracic approach. We experienced a new surgical method in the treatment of the chylothorax and report it with literatures.

보존적 치료로 해결되지 않는 유미흉의 전통적인 수술적 치료방법은 우측 개흉술을 통한 흉관 결찰술이다. 저자들은 늑막외층 접근법을 이용한 새로운 흉관 결찰법을 소개하고자 한다. 이 수술의 장점은 통상적인 개흉술에 비해 환자에게 덜 침습적이며, 술후 새로운 흉관을 넣을 필요가 없고, 흉관을 찾기가 더 쉽다는 점이다. 저자들은 새로운 수술 방법으로 유미흉을 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
