[Skeletotopy of lumbar lymph nodes].
With a preliminary coloured mass injections into the lumbar lymph nodes, it has been possible to reveal that at the level of certain lumbar vertebrae or intervertebral discs 1-10 lymph nodes are situated. The main quantity of the lumbar lymph nodes are situated below the nephric arteries, between the upper edge of the second and the lower edge of the fourth lumbar vertebrae. It has been stated that the upper level of the left lateroaortic nodes (in 97.4% of cases), that of the retrovenous nodes (in 94.7% of cases) are situated at the level of the first and second lumbar vertebrae or the intervertebral disc between them; the upper level of the prevenous nodes (in 76.3% of cases) and that of the interaortovenous nodes (in 78.9% of cases) are situated at the level of the second, third lumbar vertebrae and the intervertebral disc between them.
