Investigators will compare two different approaches of postoperative drainage after the standard water-seal drain has been used efficiently; one is by using urine bag and check it get blown by the leaked air, two is by using clamping of the water seal drain. Investigators will compare them depending on several factors such as; cost effectiveness, hospital stay, duration of putting the drain and more, reinsertion of the chest tube and others.
