1 Empyema following pulmonary resection. What is difficult management? รศ.นพ. ธ รว ทย พ นธ ช ยเพชร

2 Post lung resection empyema Post lobectomy % Post-pneumonectomy 2-16% Rt>Lt., mortality 10% Residual space & air-leakage

3 Empyema thoracis The American Thoracic Society(1962) Stage I Exudative or acute phase (1-2 wk.) low viscosity, low cellular, early angioblastic & fibroblastic proliferation Stage II Fibrinopurulent or transitional phase (2-3wk.) more turbid, PMN, fibrin deposit & loculation Stage III Organizing or chronic phase (>3 wk) pleural peel with ingrowth of capillaries, fibroblasts & collagen fibers

4 Empyema Thoracis without BPF Antibiotics, General supports Drainage: (frank pus, ph<7.2, +bacteria) catheter drainage,closed tube thoracostomy? Intrapleural fibrinolytic drug Surgical drainage: (loculation) limited thoracotomy(rib resection), VATS Definitive treatment: Filling of space & Closure(decortication) VATS? Sterilization & Closure Permanent drainage(open window thoracostomy Collapse(Thoracoplasty)

5 Empyema with BPF Tube drainage, Antibiotics, General supports Fistula closure: small: spontaneous closure endobronchial procedures Large & late: reclosure(direct or indirect) permanent drainage rotation flaps(muscle transposition) collapse(thoracoplasty)
