“…In our series, postoperative morbidity did not differ between pathologies requiring pneumonectomy. Similarly, Bouchikh et al [15] reported acceptable rates of mortality and empyema after pneumonectomy for benign disease. On the contrary, Shapiro et al [10] found benign lung disease to be associated with an adverse outcome, and Shiraishi et al [17] reported a postoperative mortality of 8.5% following extrapleural pneumonectomy for thoracic empyema.…”

“…Mansour et al [9] showed that postoperative atrial fibrillation was more common in the male gender and in age 70 and older. It is worth noticing that male sex [10,13,15,16] and age [10,13,16] have also been identified as independent risk factors for postoperative morbidity and mortality following pneumonectomy. Thus, the increasing number of postoperative arrhythmias and overall morbidity identified in our series may be the result of an ageing population, together with a potential diagnosis bias leading to more frequent treatment of benign postoperative arrhythmias.…”

“…13 • The destroyed lung by tuberculosis, which is the consequence of poorly treated or untreated or recurrent tuberculosis, as for our patient who was treated three times. 14 The chronic inflammatory and infectious process lead to the destruction of the lung and the development of pachypleuritis with pleural symphysis sometimes requiring pleuropneumonectomy like the case of our patient. 15 This laborious and hemorrhagic surgery sometimes requires costal resection during thoracotomy because of the very tight symphysis.…”

“…Some patients continue to shed bacteria, which becomes a persistent source of infection and can even induce the drug resistance of tuberculosis ( 5 , 6 ). Some patients with cavities are prone to secondary infection mold, with hemoptysis or even massive hemoptysis potentially endangering life ( 7 ).…”
