title: [The variability in the interrelations of the terminal portions of the thoracic duct and the left vertebral vein and its importance in applying a lymphovenous anastomosis].
abstract: Peculiarities of interrelations between the thoracic duct terminal regions and left vertebral vein were studied in 158 human cadavers. In case of long and thin neck trunks of the thoracic duct and vertebral vein ere established not to adjoin. Here a lympho-venous end-to-side anastomosis may be applied in vertebral vein mobilization. In short and thick neck intercrossing of the trunks was observed. In this case any type of lympho-venous anastomosis may be applied.
