“…In a study analyzing 60 CP patients and providing the intraoperative difficulty level, seven main vessel injuries, one esophageal injury, one diaphragm laceration, six pleural space contaminations, and four incomplete cancer resections were seen as a result of technical challenges. [25] In our study, there was no significant difference between the duration of primary surgical operation and CP operation (p= 0.19). Similarly, duration of hospital stay was also close to each other, and there was no significant difference detected (p= 0.7).…”

“…Completion pneumonectomy might cause technical challenges and hemorrhage during operation, due to intensive hilar and intrapericardial adhesions as a result of previous operation or neoadjuvant therapy. [15,21,24,25,29] Also, intraoperative mortality risk is higher than standard pneumonectomy. [30] Massard et al [24] and McGovern et al [29] reported that the intraoperative mortality rate was 5%.…”

“…This is again comparable with the majority of literature data, 18,19 although some authors have found similar rates for the two interventions. 12,14 For comparison, Thibout et al 20 studied patients who underwent pneumonectomy after chemotherapy; their population was taken from the same thoracic surgery departments as ours (and involved the same surgeons). They found much lower rates of D90 mortality and BPF than we did: 9.2% versus 15.2% and 7% versus 13%, respectively.…”

“…In general, the incidence of empyema after pulmonary resection is between 2% and 16%. Similarly, the incidence of PPE with or without bronchopleural fistula (BPF) has been reported to range from 0.8 to 15% in recent series, depending upon duration of postoperative follow up 2−5 . However, the true incidence of PPE may be significantly greater because of delayed presentation and occurrence, as well as underreporting.…”
