Patient: Description of the condition (time of onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): I am now almost 20 years old, the onset of the disease may be in childhood, now there is a relatively large package, there is fluid in the chest cavity, but nothing special reaction, just the usual exercise is more tired, before the county hospital pumped a chest fluid. Once because to study, so the treatment for a while did not cure, did not cure, and now and dragged two or three years seems to be the package became larger I want to ask is in your hospital can be cured? The key question is about how much money is needed for the surgery and how much time is needed for inpatient treatment, and whether it is possible to avoid inpatient treatment. Beijing Chest Tumor and Tuberculosis Hospital Thoracic Surgery Department Yan Dongjie: 1, because of the long delay, may have been transformed into chronic encapsulated pus chest, you need to decide whether you need surgery according to the current imaging examination. 2, chronic encapsulated pustulothorax, there is no better way other than surgical treatment. 3.Surgery is elective, with stable control, no obvious external penetration of the abscess, no obvious fever, shortness of breath and other uncomfortable symptoms, surgery can be suspended. 4.Because of the potential danger of internal penetration causing lung damage and external penetration causing chest wall abscess, surgery is usually performed when the physical condition is better. 5.The surgery itself is not difficult, as long as the timing of the surgery is mastered. The main danger lies in whether the degree of adhesion of the abscess to the chest wall causes a larger amount of bleeding, and in the recurrence after surgery. In recent years, there are fewer doctors experienced in doing pleurodesis, and many surgeries are not standardized, resulting in serious complications such as abscess chest and bronchopleural fistula, or even one mistake after another, inappropriate remedial surgery, causing great economic and mental stress to patients. 6.The cost of surgery in Beijing is about 40-50,000 RMB, which is mainly spent on the amount of blood transfusion during and after surgery, and the amount of nutritional support during the recovery period.
