Thoracoscopic surgery for pleuroperitoneal communication: Report of two cases

We treated a pleuroperitoneal communication successfully by performing thoracoscopic resection and suturing of the diaphragm in two patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). In both patients, the pleuroperitoneal communication occurred within 1 year after the commencement of CAPD...

Zusammenfassung:We treated a pleuroperitoneal communication successfully by performing thoracoscopic resection and suturing of the diaphragm in two patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).

This minimally invasive form of surgery could be the most effective way of treating pleuroperitoneal communications.
