No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There have been several reports on the feasibility of a no-drain policy after pneumonectomy, but the policy is not widely accepted because silent massive hemorrhage, delayed air leaks, and chylothorax would always be major worries for thoracic surgeons, and all of the researches were retrospective case studies with small sample size and insufficient evidence. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to to evaluate safety and feasibility of an improved policy, the application of a small thoracic puncture tube after pulmonary lobectomy.
