Abstract

Urinothorax is a rare form of pleural effusion that can occur after percutaneous instrumentation of the genitourinary tract. We report on the surgical management of a 75-year-old man with a past surgical history of 3-hole esophagectomy who was afflicted with a loculated urinothorax complicated by sepsis after a supracostal percutaneous nephrolithotomy. We demonstrate the efficacy of pleurodesis and decortication in the management of complicated urinothorax that is refractory to medical management.
