Objective:
To analyze the clinical effect on chronic tuberculosis empyema in treatment of surgical operation.
Methods:
One hundred and eighty three cases treated with surgical operation were chose in our hospital from Jan. 2003 to Jan. 2013. The clinical effect of chronic tuberculosis empyema treated with different treatments was analyzed.
Result:
Eighty nine cases with pleural fibrotic plastictomy, 17 cases with thoracostomy combined pleural fibrotic plastictomy, 47 cases with tboracoplasty, 24 cases with thoracostomy combined tboracoplasty, and 6 cases with pleurolobectomy. 16 patients occurred complications, and the rate was 8.7%. The curative rate among 5 groups of different surgical style were 94.4%, 100.0%, 93.6%, 100.0%, 83.3%.
Conclusion:
The surgical operation is best way in treatment of chronic tuberculosis empyema. It's necessary to choose the best surgical approach by actual clinical condition of patients to improve clinical effect.
