Transthoracic ultrasound planning in the treatment of second and third stage of empyema

چکیده
Background The management of empyema is still debated. Videoassisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has revolutionized surgical management of patients with empyema. Currently thoracoscopic approach probably is the best choice in the management of second or third stage of empyema, particularly in those patients with chronic empyema and poor performance status. Multioculated empyemas generally make thoracoscopic procedure difficult therefore open procedures would be preferable. We evaluate the effectiveness of transthoracic ultrasound (TUS) in the planning of the best thoracoscopic approach in treatment of chronic empyema.
