متن کاملComparison of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery and Intrapleural Urokinase as an Initial Treatment for Parapneumonic Effusion and Thoracic Empyema
Introduction: The treatment of complicated parapneumonic effusion (PPE) and thoracic empyema (TE) is controversial; and the choice of treatment after confirming the failure of simple drainage remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of intrapleural urokinase (UK) administration and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) as initial treatment options for PPE and...
متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracoscopic Management of Post-Pneumonectomy Empyema
BACKGROUND Post-pneumonectomy empyema is a major therapeutic challenge in thoracic surgery. The presence or absence of a concomitant bronchopleural fistula directs treatment of this condition. When there is no bronchopleural fistula the condition is classically treated with thoracostomy drainage, irrigation and antibiotic instillation with closure. This approach is, however, associated with a s...
متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery in the Management of Pediatric Empyema
BACKGROUND Management of empyema in children has progressed from open thoracotomy to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VATS in children with multiloculated empyemas. METHODS Nine children (mean age, 4 years; range, 21 months to 13 years) with empyema, in whom multiple loculations were found on computed tomo...
متن کاملVideo assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Video assisted thoracoscopy is now a well established technique in the armamentarium of the thoracic surgeon. Jacobaeus is credited with the technique of thoracoscopy and the first clinical application dates from 1913. He performed adhesiolysis to enhance pneumothorax therapy of tuberculosis via a cystoscope introduced into the pleural cavity. Before the 1990s thoracoscopic surgery was restrict...
