Appropriate management of empyema thoracis is dependent upon a secure diagnosis of the etiology of empyema and the phase of development. Minimal access surgery using video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) is one of many useful techniques in treating empyema. Complex empyema requires adjunctive treatment in addition to VATS.
脓胸的恰当管理取决于对脓胸病因及发展阶段的准确诊断。使用电视辅助胸腔镜(VATS)的微创手术是治疗脓胸的众多有效技术之一。复杂脓胸除了VATS外还需要辅助治疗。
