The aim of this study was to determine the influence of thoracic duct ligation on the lipid metabolism of patients with esophageal carcinoma after esophagectomy. A total of 74 patients with esophageal carcinoma who underwent esophagectomy were divided into 2 groups according to whether or not their thoracic duct was ligated. Thirty-nine patients were in the thoracic duct ligation group and the other 35 assigned to the control group. Enteral feeding was through a nasojejunal tube from the 1st day to the 8th day after operation, and liquid diet was provided starting on the 6th day.
