Empyema
Surgery for Empyema (pus around the lung)
Empyema means the presence of pus in the pleural space between the outer surface
of the lung and the chest wall.
Empyema can occur as a complication of tuberculosis, pneumonia, trauma, repeated
aspiration of pleural fluids and also following various chest operations.
However, in advanced cases which have been on medicines for several months with a
thick hard layer around the lung, open surgery is mandatory to be able to remove the
disease completely as incomplete removal of the pus and the peel, often leads to
recurrence of the disease process later.

Symptoms of Empyema
Symptoms of Empyema may vary from asymptomatic
disease picked up on a CT Scan to cough, fever, chest
pain, and breathlessness. It affects patients of all ages-
from youngest to oldest. Early surgical removal of pus
leads to quick recovery whereas delay in treatment can
even be fatal.
Diagnosis of Empyema
The diagnosis is confirmed by CT Scan and aspiration
of pus from the chest cavity.
