Abstract:
Chylothorax is caused by lymphatic chyle fluid leaking through the thoracic duct and accumulating in the pleural cavity. It is related to a thoracic duct injury or occlusion. Our 26-year-old patient sustained a traumatic injury to the thoracic duct. We used a novel approach to treat this patient, that is, we identified the leaking chyle by combining uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery with the injection of indocyanine green bilaterally in the inguinal lymph nodes.
