متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracic surgery for fibropurulent thoracic empyema: a bridge to open thoracic surgery.
BACKGROUND Thoracic empyema remains a serious problem. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for fibropurulent thoracic empyema. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-six consecutive patients with thoracic empyema resistant to medical therapy were treated by VATS from 1997 to 2006. The presence of pleural adhesion was not a contraindication. Pat...
