Many respondents defined TL as &gt;25% or any level of incomplete lung expansion; 75% would use large\u2010volume thoracentesis to determine whether TL was present. For patients with TL, indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) were the preferred treatment irrespective of prognosis. In those without TL, surgical pleurodesis was the most common choice if prognosis was &gt;6 months, whereas IPC was the preferred option if survival was &lt;3 months. Only 5% of respondents considered decortication having a definite role in TL, but 55% would consider it in select cases. Forty\u2010nine per cent of surgeons would not perform decortication when the lung does not fully expand intra\u2010operatively. Perceived advantages of IPCs were minimisation of hospital time, effusion re\u2010intervention and usefulness irrespective of TL status. Perceived disadvantages of IPCs were lack of suitable drainage care, potentially indefinite duration of catheter\u2010<jats:italic>in\u2010situ<\/jats:italic> and catheter complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This survey highlights the lack of definition of TL and heterogeneity of MPE management in Australasia, especially for patients with expandable lungs.
