As with any surgery, complications may occur. Post<unk> air leak is a significant clinical problem, and patients undergoing pulmonary resections often present with postoperative air leaks. Other risk factors include infections, reactions to anesthesia, bleeding, pneumothorax and bronchopleural fistula. The main infection that a patient runs the risk of is pneumonia. Pneumothorax occurs when there is air trapped between the lung and the chest wall. This can lead to the patients lung collapsing. A bronchopleural fistula is when there is a tube like opening that allows air to escape. Minimally invasive surgery is beneficial for patient outcome, with reduced risk of complications.
