Chemical diaphragmoplasty and pleurodesis by videotoracoscopy as a surgical treatment in a patient with liver hydrothorax. Neumol. cir. torax [online]. 2021, vol.80, n.1, pp.46-50. Epub 06-Dic-2021.

Hepatic hydrothorax is a difficult diagnosis pathology, of which very little is known due to its low incidence. Next, we will present a clinical case of a patient with a hepatic hydrothorax, where surgical treatment with diaphragmoplasty plus chemical pleurodesis by videothoracoscopy was considered as an alternative, due to its low adherence to medical treatment, presenting recurrences of the hydrothorax and frequent hospitalizations. This surgery is presented as an alternative with good results for an important period of time, improving the quality of life of the patient
