description Background: In most cases of pulmonary or pleural post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) complications, surgical interventions are performed to treat these complications, but the method of the surgery and its outcome in these patients is not clearly defined. We present 40 patients with pulmonary and pleural complications after COVID-19 who required surgical intervention. Patients and Methods: In this case series, patients' data were prospectively collected from April to August 2022 at Masih Daneshvari Hospital. Inclusion criteria were patients with COVID-19 who were referred to the thoracic surgery department because of pleural effusion, pneumothorax, empyema, infected or non-infected pneumatocele, and lung cavity with suspected fungal infections. The required intervention for each patient was assessed. Results: Patients' mean age was 49.21 ± 11.5 (30–69 years). Nine patients (22.5%) were female. Pure pleural effusion was reported in five (12.5 %), pneumothorax in eight (20%), empyema in 29 (72.5%), and infected pneumatocele in two patients (5%). Twelve patients had bronchial fistulas that were clarified at the time of surgery that needed repair after resection. In 13 patients (32.5%) because of pleural effusion or pneumothorax, a chest tube was inserted and after two weeks lungs were fully expanded. All patients with pneumothorax were managed by chest tube initially but in the presence of continuous air leakage and non-expanding lungs surgical thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) were considered for correction. In 10 patients who required thoracotomy, the chest tube was necessary for more than one month. In most of the patients, there were small cystic lesions or peripheral bronchopleural fistula. In 17 (42.5%) cases of empyema, necrotic pneumonia was documented and eight patients (20%) had aspergillus infection in the pathology report and two patients had a pulmonary abscess. Conclusions: Pleural COVID-19 complications can be treated with conventional surgical methods such as chest tube insertion, and debridement of infected tissue with no mortality and further complications.
