“…In the present series there were no postoperative deaths and the incidence of major complications was 7 per cent. This compares favourably with the series reported by Gaensler (1956) in which there was 1 case of haemorrhage in 9 cases, and that of Gobbel et al (1963) with 2 persisting air leaks in 31 cases. Thomas and Gebauer (1960) reported a 12 per cent incidence of major complications following 45 operations, and Saha (1964) reported 3 deaths in a series of 90 operations, all occurring in the older age group.…”

In the present series 4 patients had had a previous attempted pleurodesis.…”

“…Gaensler 2 in 1956, as well as Gobbel et al 3 in 1963, reported severe complications after intrapleural injection of talc. Despite that, Weissberg 4 in 1981 said that "The use of talc in pleura is safe and useful.…”
