Excavated Haematomas after Pulmonary Segmental Resection

H. M. BEUMER M.D.1 and T. L. MELLEMA M.D.1

1 The Sanatorium Berg en Bosch.

Between December, 1956 and September, 1958, 342 segmental resections were performed in the Sanatorium Berg en Bosch. In this group, 16 excavated haematomas developed in the intersegmental plane. Generally, the excavated haematoma disappeared spontaneously, without any symptom of complications.

The cause is considered to be the strong negative suction in the drainage catheters, between 40 and 100 cm. of water, in use during the postoperative period.
