Lymphological principles of treatment and prevention of peritonitis

In recent years, there are more and more works on both experimental and clinical problems of lymphology, revealing the involvement of the lymphatic system in the occurrence, development and outcome of a variety of pathological processes.
Modern therapeutic lymphology is developing in four directions: 1) external drainage of the thoracic lymphatic duct with extracorporeal lymphatic clearance; 2) endolymphatic therapy; 3) lymphotropic therapy; and 4) lymphostimulation. All these areas can be divided into two forms of action on the lymphatic system: directly through the lymphatic manifolds (drainage of the thoracic lymphatic duct and endolymphatic therapy) and through other biological objects (lymphostimulation and lymphotropic therapy). Various methods and techniques by which the function of the lymphatic system can be controlled are justified in the treatment of essentially all pathological processes.
