Lymphonodovenous anastomosis in the treatment of chyluria.
Thirty cases of chyluria were treated by means of lymphonodovenous anastomoses according to the principles of lymphovenous shunt. A conical tissue of lymph node close to the greater saphenous vein in the inguinal region was removed and the remaining tunnel-shaped node was anastomosed to the vein to drain the lymph into the venous system. Twenty-one cases were followed up for six months after the operation. Among them, 16 (76.2%) showed disappearance of chyluria, and 2 (9.5%) were improved, giving an effective rate of 85.7%. This operation avoids damage to both the afferent and efferent lymphatic vessels, and affords a large anastomotic stoma for free passage of the lymph into the vein.
