Resection of pulmonary blebs and pleurodesis for spontaneous pneumothorax.
Over a 20-year period, 83 patients underwent operative pleurodesis with resection of pulmonary blebs for spontaneous pneumothorax. Follow-up for all patients was between 5 and 25 years, with a mean of 9.1 years. There were five early (5.6 percent) and three late recurrences (3.6 percent). There were no deaths or need for blood transfusion in our series. There was a low incidence of postoperativ...
متن کاملCan chest ultrasonography assess pleurodesis after VATS for spontaneous pneumothorax?
OBJECTIVE Thoracic echography easily detects the sign of 'pleural sliding', due to the movement of the visceral pleura on the parietal pleura. This sign is absent when pleurodesis is present. This study was designed to test thoracic echography in the assessment of difference in pleurodesis obtained after abrasion or pleurectomy performed for spontaneous pneumothorax, mainly based on the presenc...
متن کاملSurgical pleurodesis for Vanderschueren's stage III primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of various pleurodesis procedures on post-operative morbidity and late recurrence rate after surgical treatment of Vanderschueren's stage III primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Between January 2001 and June 2004, 208 consecutive patients (169 male and 39 female; mean (range) age 25 (12-39) yrs) were submitted to 220 video-assisted thoracos...
متن کامل[Thoracic retraction after chemical pleurodesis by video-assisted thoracoscopy for spontaneous juvenile pneumothorax].
To the Editor: When video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) is used to treat spontaneous pneumothorax (SP), the goal is to eliminate the lesions that caused the air leak and to perform pleurodesis to minimize recurrence. In our facility, iodine in hydroalcoholic solution has been used to treat primary SP since 1993. The only important postoperative complication has been the recurrence of pneumothora...
متن کاملMechanical versus chemical pleurodesis for management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax evaluated with thoracic echography.
The current study is designed to compare the effectiveness of brushing the pleura vs. instillation of minocycline for the management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax, and to assess the sensitivity of echography in defining areas of defects. Blebectomy and pleurodesis were carried out thoracoscopically on 84 patients. In group A (42 patients), abrasions were induced using a sponge on a long r...
