Abstract:

Continuous air leak is one of the most frequent complications of videothoracoscopic lung resections. Relevance of the issue after diagnostic resections for biopsy while complete resection of obvious lesions in patients with diffuse lung diseases is connected with high risk of persistent bronchopulmonary fistulas is of particular evidence. Postoperative course of these patients included various treatment options: from conventional and auxiliary methods to reoperations. The experience presented is an attempt to illustrate general characteristics of videothoracoscopic lung resections, most frequent sequalae, analysis of causes of the latter and diagnostic and treatment algorithm in case of complications.
