Abstract

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgerry is applied to patients with exudative pleural effusion, whose cause has not been diagnosed by other methods at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. The study was carried out by cross-sectional descriptive method including 47 patients operated from August 2018 to December 2021. The patients in the study had an average age of 51 years, the main cause was Pulmonary TB, there are 28 cases, accounting for 60%, other causes include inflammation, cancer accounted for 25% and 15% respectively. All patients found the cause, drained the pleural fluid, expanded the lung, placed a pleural drainage, and 80% were combined with other treatment methods such as 10% concentrated betadine pump for 10 patients, pleural adhesion was removed for 38/47 patients, fibrin septum was broken in 7/47 patients and 4 patients were pleural peel surgery.
