摘要
Lung volume reduction surgery is an option for the management of end-stage emphysema. The most frequent surgical complication of lung volume reduction is prolonged air leaks. We describe a patient undergoing a lung volume reduction operation complicated by persistent bilateral air spaces with large air leaks. Treatment with recurrent pneumoperitoneum via a peritoneal dialysis catheter along with chemical sclerosis successfully resolved both problems. (C) 1997 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
