In the 10 year period from May, 1973, to May, 1983, a total of 251 pneumonectomies were undertaken. Total unilateral bronchiectasis, the consequence of previous tuberculosis, occurred in 67.3% of cases and was the major indication for pneumonectomy. Of the 251 pneumonectomies, 14.7% were done through an empyema. The management of patients undergoing this procedure is discussed. There were two operative deaths among the 37 patients. Postpneumonectomy empyema developed in 16 patients (45.7%), and five of these patients required thoracoplasty, five left the hospital with an open drain or sinus, and in six the empyema was sterilized.
在1973年5月至1983年5月的10年期间，共进行了251例肺切除术。既往肺结核导致的单侧全肺支气管扩张占病例的67.3%，是肺切除术的主要指征。在251例肺切除术中，14.7%是通过脓胸进行的。本文讨论了接受该手术患者的管理。37例患者中有2例手术死亡。16例患者（45.7%）发生了肺切除术后脓胸，其中5例患者需要胸廓成形术，5例患者出院时带有开放引流管或窦道，6例患者的脓胸得到了控制。
