Management of the residual pleural space after lung resection: phrenic nerve block, pneumoperitoneum and chemical pleurodesis: 2 clinical cases
Manejo del espacio residual pleural post resección pulmonar: bloqueo del nervio frénico, neumoperitoneo y pleurodesis química: 2 casos clínicos
Resumen:
The residual pleural space after lung resection associated with air leak is a frequent finding. It is reported that it can occur in up to 40% of patients in the first postoperative days. Treatment may require re-surgery or the use of less invasive procedures. In two patients, we performed cervical phrenic nerve block, pneumoperitoneum, and chemical pleurodesis by drainage tube.
