متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery in the Management of Pediatric Empyema
BACKGROUND Management of empyema in children has progressed from open thoracotomy to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VATS in children with multiloculated empyemas. METHODS Nine children (mean age, 4 years; range, 21 months to 13 years) with empyema, in whom multiple loculations were found on computed tomo...
