ABSTRACT
The article deals with the results of experimental studies on 10 male and female dogs conducted under intrapleural hexenal anaesthesia. The rate of elimination of the lymphotrophic dye indigo carmine from the subserous depot in the wall of the gallbladder, stomach, and small intestine under normal conditions and in regional stimulation of lymphatic drainage was studied. The rate of total elimination increased 2.4 times in stimulation. On the grounds of these studies, regional lymphotrophic therapy was conducted in 417 patients treated at a general surgical hospital. As the result of this treatment the inflammatory process was arrested in a shorter time, the laboratory indices were normalized more rapidly, and the term of treatment was shorter than in patients of the control group.
