Abstract :
Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery [VATS] is a commonly performed procedure in pediatric patients. As compared to open thoracotomy it is relatively safe, pain free, associated with early ambulation and less morbidity. However associated complications include bleeding, infection and oncho–pulmonary air leaks.
We report a rare complication associated with VATS for empyema after a bull horn injury. Post operative complication was development of gastro pleural fistula which was repaired by open thoracotomy. Post operative recovery was uneventful.
