AbstractOne hundred and thirty-one cases of penetrating injuries of the chest were reviewed prospectively. A policy of conservative management is advocated, based on the intercostal drainage of moderate or large collections of fluid and/or air. The site of the intercostal drain is not an important factor in the management.
