About Decortication Empyema
Key Highlights
Who Is This Surgery For?
- Failed medical management of empyema with persistent infection despite antibiotics.
- Loculated or complex empyema where pus is trapped in multiple pockets, preventing effective drainage.
- Presence of a thick, fibrous pleural peel (cortex) seen on CT scan that is restricting lung movement.
- Chronic empyema lasting several weeks that has not resolved with chest tube thoracostomy.
- Development of a bronchopleural fistula (abnormal connection between lung airways and pleural space).
- To prevent permanent lung entrapment and progressive respiratory impairment.
How to Prepare
- Comprehensive evaluation including chest X-ray, CT scan, and possibly ultrasound to map the extent of the empyema.
- Blood tests to assess infection levels, organ function, and clotting ability.
- Optimization of nutritional status, as chronic infection often leads to weight loss and weakness.
- Pre-operative physiotherapy to teach breathing exercises (incentive spirometry) for use after surgery.
- Discussion of anesthesia risks and a complete medical history review with the surgical and anesthesia team.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the scheduled surgery time.
Risks & Possible Complications
- Bleeding during or after the procedure, which may require transfusion.
- Infection at the surgical site or spread of infection.
- Air leak (persistent pneumothorax) from the lung surface after decortication.
- Reaccumulation of fluid or pus in the pleural space.
- Pain, which is common and managed with medications.
- Risks associated with general anesthesia and major surgery, such as blood clots, heart issues, or stroke.
- Injury to surrounding structures like nerves, blood vessels, or the diaphragm.
- Respiratory failure, especially in patients with pre-existing lung disease.
Recovery & Hospital Stay
- Initial recovery in the ICU or a high-dependency unit for close monitoring of breathing and vital signs.
- One or more chest tubes will remain in place for several days to drain fluid and air, allowing the lung to fully expand.
- Aggressive pain management is crucial to enable deep breathing and coughing exercises.
- Early mobilization with assistance to prevent blood clots and pneumonia.
- Continued breathing exercises with an incentive spirometer multiple times daily.
- Intravenous antibiotics will be continued post-operatively as prescribed.
- Follow-up appointments for wound check, chest X-ray, and removal of sutures/staples.
- Gradual return to normal activities over several weeks, avoiding heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks.
- Typical hospital stay: 7-14 days
- Expected recovery time: 4-8 weeks
