The regenerative capacity of injured lymphatic trunks was compared to that of lymphatic capillaries following physical and chemical injuries using the techniques of micro-injection. Some transected lymphatic trunks regenerate whereas lymphatic trunks having 2 mm segments excised did not regenerate. Flow of lymph was diverted to collateral vessels. In contrast to lymphatic trunks, lymphatic capillaries showed remarkable regenerative capacity following both physical and chemical injuries.
