Radiological comparison of atelectasis formation and pleural effusion after open versus thoracoscopic minimally invasive esophagectomy
Despite major differences in surgical trauma and ventilation strategies between open and MIE, CT evaluation at day 5 was surprisingly similar. Less right-sided pleural effusion demonstrates the effect of surgical drains. We believe that the defined levels of measurement used in this study, performed at clear anatomical landmarks, can be of value in future studies.
