Open Thoracotomy and Decortication for Chronic Empyema
OBJECTIVES Traditionally, chronic empyema has been treated by thoracotomy and decortication. Some recent reports have claimed similar clinical results for videothoracoscopy, but with less morbidity and mortality than open procedures. Our experience with thoracotomy and decortication is reviewed so that the results of this surgical procedure can be adequately evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS F...
متن کاملAnalysis of lung function test in patients with pleural empyema treated with thoracotomy and decortication.
UNLABELLED The fibrinopurulent phase of pleural empyema has very often been treated with thoracotomy and decortications. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed the lung function of 19 surgically treated patients in the last 3 years. The lung function was followed up at least 6 months after surgery. RESULTS Before surgery the expected mean forced vital capacity (FVC) was 4650 ml, the expected mean...

متن کاملمطالعه گذشته نگر درمان آمپیم مزمن با دو روش توراکوسکوپی و توراکوتومی
Background: Empyema remains a challenging issue for thoracic surgeons. In the early stages of empyema antibiotic therapy and pleural space drainage are the treatment of choice. In organized empyema with pleural peel and re-expandable underlying lung, decortication is the procedure of choice. There is agreement about the value of Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) in the manage...
متن کاملEmpyema thoracis: a role for open thoracotomy and decortication.
BACKGROUND Thoracentesis and antibiotics remain the cornerstones of treatment in stage I empyema. The management of disease progression or late presentation is controversial. Open thoracotomy and decortication is perceived to be synonymous with protracted recovery and prolonged hospitalisation. Advocates of thoracoscopic adhesiolysis cite earlier chest drain removal and hospital discharge. This...
