The T-shaped tube can drain both the extremities of pleural space. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of T-chest tube compared to classic chest tube after uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We compared the effectiveness of T-tube and classic 28 CH chest drainage after different surgical procedures in uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery: lobectomies, wedge resections and pleural and mediastinal biopsies. As primary end points, drained effusion and evidence of pneumothorax at postoperative day 1, subcutaneous emphysema, tube kinking, obstruction and necessity of repositioning or postoperative thoracentesis were considered. Pain at 6 and 24\u2009h after surgery, pain at tube removal and mean hospitalization were analysed as secondary end points.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 109 patients were selected for the study, 51 included to the T-tube group while the other 58 ones to the control group with classic drainage. Patients with T-tube showed a significantly lower rate of pneumothorax (29.4% vs 63.8%; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), tube kinking (5.9% vs 27.6%; P\u2009=\u20090.003) and need of repositioning (2.0% vs 12.1%; P\u2009=\u20090.043). No significant results were obtained in subcutaneous emphysema (P\u2009=\u20090.26), tube obstruction (P\u2009=\u20090.32), drained effusion (P\u2009=\u20090.11) and need of postoperative thoracentesis (P\u2009=\u20090.18). Patients with T-tube complained of &amp;lt;6\u2009h after surgery (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Conversely, T-tube removal was reported to be more painful (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
