Chłonkotok piersiowy jako powikłanie operacyjnego leczenia wrodzonej atrezji przełyku i wrodzonej przepukliny przeponowej

The iatrogenic chylothorax is caused by a disorder of lymphatic transport within the natural tract. Postoperative iatrogenic chylothorax is the result of damage to the thoracic duct and diagnosis is based on fluid accumulation in the pleura. Lymphoscintigraphy remains the standard in pediatric diagnostics. Imaging tests are used to confirm the presence of fluid in the body cavities. The iatrogenic lymphoma treatment is multidirectional and includes nutritional treatment, pharmacotherapy and surgical treatment. The data were analyzed for patients treated for iatrogenic lymphoma in the Department of Pediatric Surgery of the Warsaw Medical University in the years 2005-2015.
