Empyema after lung resection is an uncommon, but serious, complication. Its reported incidence varies from 1% to 5%, and it is frequently associated with a bronchopleural fistula. This article covers the prevention and treatment of empyema. Treatment requires the use of appropriate antibiotics, adequate drainage, obliteration of the pleural space, and closure of the fistula in order to achieve a long-term successful outcome.
