A Network Meta-Analysis of Drainage Systems and Suction Strategies After Lung Cancer Surgery
Digital drainage systems may reduce drainage duration and LOHS compared to analogue systems. Continuous suction appears less effective than water seal or alternating suction. Due to heterogeneity, firm conclusions are limited and should be interpreted with utmost caution, highlighting the need for standardized high-quality studies.
