Evaluation of the Efficacy of Fibrous Board Stripping under Thoracoscopy for Chronic Empyema
Thoracoscopic-assisted fibrous plate debridement is a minimally invasive core surgical technique for the clinical treatment of chronic empyema. Existing studies demonstrate that single-port, single-incision, and auxiliary small incision techniques each possess distinct clinical advantages, including reduced postoperative pain perception and accelerated recovery. Minimally invasive surgery achieves comparable lung re-expansion outcomes to traditional thoracotomy while exhibiting lower complication rates and superior long-term patient recovery. The timing of surgical intervention directly impacts prognosis, with early intervention reducing procedural complexity and positively influencing pulmonary function recovery. This article provides a systematic review and synthesis of relevant research findings.
