Actuarial Analysis↗
Giant lung abscess treated by tube thoracostomy.
Pulmonary resection is the recommended treatment for large lung abscesses that do not respond to medical management. Tube thoracostomy, effective in the past, has been used less and less in recent years. Personal experience with three patients and a review of the literature led me to the following conclusions: In the treatment of a lung abscess 8 cm or larger, tube thoracostomy is an effective form of drainage, is probably safer than pulmonary resection, and may yield a superior result. Rather than being reserved as a desperation measure for poor risk patients, tube thoracostomy should be considered early in the hospital course.
