Respiratory endoscopy intervention in 12 patients with refractory persistent air leakage after pulmonary surgery: a preliminary study of case series
Our protocol of respiratory endoscopy intervention can significantly shorten the retention time of the patient's chest tube and effectively treat refractory PAL after pulmonary surgery. However, it should be emphasized that individualized therapy should be provided according to the location and size of the fistula orifice.
