Is video-assisted thoracic surgery justified at first spontaneous pneumothorax?
OBJECTIVE The fundamental role of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax is generally acknowledged today. This study intends to evaluate whether VATS is justified at the onset of a first spontaneous pneumothorax through analysis of parameters tested on two group of patients treated respectively with pleural drainage and VATS. PATIENTS/METHODS The s...
متن کاملThe best treatment for the first episode of primary spontaneous pneumothorax: an unanswered question.
I read with great interest the study by TSCHOPP et al. [1]. They compared in a multicentre randomised study two groups of patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), in order to study the recurrence rate, the side-effects (mainly the pain) and the cost of two treatment modalities, thoracoscopic talcage (TT) or pleural drainage (PD). They found that, after 5 yrs of follow-up, 34% of PS...
متن کاملDo atmospheric conditions influence the first episode of primary spontaneous pneumothorax?
OBJECTIVES Several studies suggest that changes in airway pressure may influence the onset of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of atmospheric changes on the onset of the first episode of PSP. METHODS We retrospectively analysed cases of pneumothorax admitted to our department between 1 January 2009 and 31 October 2013. Patients wit...
متن کاملVideo-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Versus Axillary Thoracotomy in Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Introduction: Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is now commonly used for primary spontaneous pneumothorax. In the present study we compared the outcomes of this technique with those obtained by conventional thoracotomy.Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional stud, forty patients were enrolled into two groups: VATS (n=20) and thoracotomy (n=20). In both groups the blebs were resected ...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax: clinicopathological correlation.
OBJECTIVE To compare the identifiable pulmonary abnormalities during thoracoscopy with the histological findings in patients requiring surgical intervention for recurrent or persistent primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) and correlate these with the postoperative events. METHODS From January 1999 to December 2002, 94 consecutive patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge excisio...
