I do a, a parietal pleurectomy fairly aggressively, and it's a, it's really, really easy. You just get into that, that space underneath the parietal pleura and just have fun stripping it off, and I think it's a far more effective way to, to seal that pleural cavity. Than than rubbing it with what effectively is sandpaper.
I'm just wondering if we're in a limbo stage here, if in the next decade we're going to actually see mechanical devices actually put down through the upper pouch that will mechanically grab and seal the lower pouch.

It's once you get started, it's hard to stop. Uh, it's strips away, and yeah, it's painful, but, um, you know, with modern analgesics, uh, you know, it's, it's it seems to be manageable.
Jeff Blair (spk_3) speculates that in the next decade, mechanical devices may be used to grab and seal the lower esophageal pouch via the upper pouch, possibly with thoracoscopic or imaging facilitation.

opinionParietal pleurectomy is fairly easy—you get into the space underneath the parietal pleura and strip it off—and is a far more effective way to seal the pleural cavity than mechanical pleurodesis.↗
