DOI: 10.1007/s11748-020-01534-9
Abstract: Prolonged air leakage (PAL) is the most common postoperative complication after segmentectomy and chemical pleurodesis (CP) is one of the common procedures for managing PAL. However, the impact of CP on postoperative pulmonary function remains… read more here.

DOI: 10.21037/jtd.2018.06.100
Abstract: Thoracic surgeons sometimes have difficulty controlling postoperative air-leakage, particularly in patients with dense fissures. Several studies have shown that prolonged air leak (PAL) is a frequent complication after anatomic pulmonary resections, occurring in 7.6–10% of… read more here.
