Abstract: Pleurectomy/decortication has been preferably employed as a curative-intent surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma. However, visceral pleurectomy during pleurectomy/decortication provides technical challenges. For visceral pleurectomy, pleural incisions are commonly made to create a dissection plane between… read more here.
