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.
