PDV in patients with each type of lobectomy and the comparison between lower lobectomy and upper lobectomy. a The median PDV of patients who underwent LUL, LLL, RUL, RML, and RLL was 835, 920, 800, 660, and 880 ml, respectively (P = 0.031). b Patients who underwent lower lobectomy showed a higher PDV compared with those who underwent upper lobectomy (910 ml vs. 805 ml; P = 0.015). PDV pleural drainage volume, LUL left upper lobe, LLL left lower lobe, RUL right upper lobe, RML right middle lobe, RLL right lower lobe
