Description
Summary:Chyluria is a disease that may severely debilitate a patient＇s health condition. Some investigations have indicated that in patients with chyluria, part of the uptake fat and protein leaks from the urine.Thus, recurrent chyluria may result in malnutrition. In addition, with nearly one half of the body＇s the urine, depressed regulatory lymphocytes lost through functions of the lymphatic system may cause illnesses following immune deficiency. Therefore, it is imperative to provide effective and active medical care for chyluria patients. The purpose of surgical treatment is to eliminate lymphatic fistula and decrease intralymphatic pressure. We recently performed retroperitoneoscopic renal pedical lymphatic disconnection for 78 cases of chyluria patients in our hospital between April 2003 and June 2007. We herein summarize our experience as follows.
