A conservative approach to penetrating injuries of the chest. Experience with 131 successive cases.

Abstract

One hundred and thirty-one cases of penetrating injuries of the chest were reviewed prospectively. A policy of conservative management is advocated, based on the intercostal drainage of moderate or large collections of fluid and/or air. The site of the intercostal drain is not an important factor in the management.
