Empyema Clinical Trial

Official title:
VATS( Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy ) Compared to Reinsertion of a Thoracostomy Tube for Persistent Haemothorax A Single Center Prospective Randomized Study

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, randomized study comparing VATS( Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy ) to reinsertion of a Thoracostomy Tube in patients with retained haemothorax. The hypothesis is that early VATS as opposed to reinsertion of a thoracostomy tube , will lead to less complications and shorter hospital stay.
