Abstrakt: A possibility for clipping the ends of the damaged thoracic duct in chylothorax treatment by video endosurgical method was supported by the experiment performed in 10 dogs and topographoanatomical study carried out in 158 corpses of adults. The correlation found allows to forecast the possible position of thoracic region of the thoracic duct both by the thoracic cage shape and topography of the adjacent large anatomic elements.
