The appropriate management of multiloculated empyema thoracis remains controversial. During a 7-month period, we have managed multiloculated empyema with early thoracoscopic debridement in three consecutive pediatric patients. Chest tubes were removed 7 +/- 1 (mean +/- standard deviation) days after thoracoscopy and discharge from hospital was on postoperative day 8 +/- 1. We suggest that early thoracoscopic debridement of multiloculated empyema thoracis in children is safe and efficacious.
多房性脓胸的恰当治疗仍存在争议。在7个月的时间里，我们对连续3例儿科患者采用早期胸腔镜清创术治疗多房性脓胸。胸腔镜检查后7±1（均值±标准差）天拔除胸管，术后8±1天出院。我们认为，儿童多房性脓胸早期胸腔镜清创术是安全有效的。
