This study presents two cases of lung herniation after thoracotomy. It reviews lung hernia classification and radiographic findings for better diagnosis and management.

Area of Science:

Thoracic Surgery
Radiology
Pulmonology

Background:

Thoracotomy, a surgical procedure involving chest wall incision, can lead to complications.
Lung herniation is a rare but significant complication following thoracic surgery.

Observation:

Two distinct cases of post-thoracotomy lung herniation are detailed.
Clinical presentation and patient history relevant to lung hernia development are described.

Findings:

Radiographic findings, including chest X-rays and CT scans, are crucial for diagnosing lung hernia.
A review of current lung hernia classification systems is provided, aiding in standardized reporting.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis through imaging is essential for appropriate patient management.
