Clinical and Experimental Basis of Lymphatic Therapy in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis

This article analyzes the problems of experimental modeling of ulcerative colitis, as well as the management and treatment of patients with ulcerative colitis using lymphotropic therapy in the postoperative period as part of the treatment complex.

Using serial experiments in experimental animals, a model of ulcerative colitis was created. Against the background of the created model and after it, lymphatic drainage in the intestinal mesentery was studied. Based on the results of experimental studies, we used lymphotropic therapy in a clinical setting in 54 patients as part of the treatment of ulcerative colitis in the postoperative period. The obtained results convincingly showed the positive effect of this method. At the same time, intestinal complications in the postoperative period are significantly reduced and the patient’s length of stay in the hospital is shortened.
