Abstract:
Chest tube is routinely used after thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery for evacuating air and fluids. Development of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) makes the disadvantages of traditional drainage clearly. In this review, we summarized the advantages and disadvantages of small-bore chest tube, the use of digital drainage system, the time of removing the chest tube, the indications of non chest tube, the improvements of drainage tube hole suture and the complications of chest tube placement after thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery.
