Management of Complications After Lung Resection: Prolonged Air Leak and Bronchopleural Fistula.
TL;DR: Prolonged air leak or alveolar-pleural fistula is common after lung resection and can usually be managed with continued pleural drainage until resolution, but transthoracic stump revision or window thoracostomy may be required.
