Postoperative Hemorrhage after Pulmonary Resection

I. Comparison of secondary thoracotomy and conservative treatment

J. Langer M.D.1; K. Czyzewski M.D.1; J. Mieszkowski 1; and W. Palka 1

1 Clinic of Thoracic Surgery, Postgraduate Medical School

(1) Postoperative hemorrhage after pulmonary resection is more frequent when the lung is dissected extrapleurally, the operation is protracted, and large amounts of blood are transfused.

(2) The mortality rate after conservative treatment is four times and nonspecific empyema five times more frequent than after rethoracotomy. The differences in both cases are statistically significant.

(3) The postoperative loss of vital capacity is greater after hemorrhages treated conservatively.
