Pleural adhesions

Physical, chemical or biological methods are used to make the pleura produce aseptic inflammation and the adhesion of the visceral and parietal pleura to each other to eliminate the pleural cavity and reduce gas and fluid exudation. -rodesis), also known as pleural atresia. Patients with pneumothorax and pleural effusion generally receive better treatment after pleural drainage. However, spontaneous pneumothorax has clinical characteristics that are prone to recurrence. The recurrence rate in the literature is 34.8% to 81.0%. For malignant pleural effusion, pleural drainage alone can rarely effectively control the production of pleural effusion, and long-term drainage can still lead to pleural infection and loss of large amounts of protein. Therefore, clinicians pay special attention to the above two issues, and emphasize the importance of eliminating the pleural cavity to control the disease.
