The aim of our study is to estimate the rate of hepatic hydrothorax in our transplant cases in the pre-posttransplant period, to make an overview of our treatment protocol and to assess the effect of treatment and its results. Material and Methods: Data of 172 hepatic transplant patients(97 male,75 female;mean age: 2.56±12.1) operated between March 2012- December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic, clinical and radiologic features were evaluated. Patients were graded according to the volume of effusion. Taking surgical interventions into consideration, the role of the presence of hepatic hydrothorax was evaluated with respect to intensive care, hospital stay, morbidity and mortality. Results: atients who had preoperative hydrothorax tended to have more frequent hydrothorax postoperatively (p=0.03). 25.2% of preoperatively determined hydrothorax patients, and 29.9% of postperative hydrothorax patients underwent thoracic drainage owing to their grade was2. Hepatic hydrothorax didnt affect duration of stay in postoperative intensive care unit and hospital, and mortality. Conclusion: Our study that we reached good results by performing drainage to patients described grade2, may provide a perspective to consultant thoracic surgeons in the management of hepatic hydrothorax.
