Clinical analysis of common abdominal operation complicated with pleural effusion / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Pleural effusion is one of the common complications after abdominal surgery, which has a high incidence rate. It not only extends the length of hospital stay and increases the economic burden, but also may affect the prognosis of patients or even endanger lives. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of pleural effusion are important for postoperative rehabilitation. So far,the relationship between pleural effusion and clinical pathological factors of postoperation has not been revealed clearly and definitely. Preventive measures and the causes are summarized by reading a large number of literatures and combining with clinical experience to reduce incidence rate.
