Esophagectomy is a major surgical procedure done for carcinoma of esophagus. Usually bilateral chest tubes are placed in surgery for prevention of fluid accumulation in chest. However such procedure limits patients mobility and increases severity of pain. recent studies suggest that a single drain can be safe and effective. our study aims to compare the results of two chest tubes vs one.
