Surgical treatment of emphysematous bullae: late outcome.
From 1967 to 1972 12 patients were operated on for emphysematous bullae in the Liverpool regional cardiothoracic centre. The patient with the poorest lung function died in the immediate postoperative period but the remainder survived for more than five years. All but one of the survivors showed evidence of benefit three to six months after surgery and all those not retired returned to full-time...
متن کاملTeflon strip pneumostasis for excision of giant emphysematous bullae.
Excision of giant emphysematous bullae commonly results in a persistent air leak that requires prolonged intercostal drainage and delays recovery. To minimise this we have used Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) strips to buttress the suture line and secure pneumostasis. During 1976-84 eight bullae were excised in seven patients. One patient had bilateral staged thoracotomies. All chest drains we...
متن کاملSuccessful Two-Stage Surgical Treatment for Lung Cancer in a Patient with Contralateral Giant Emphysematous Bullae
A 67-year-old man was referred for further evaluation of an abnormal chest roentgenogram. Computed tomography showed a 40 × 30 mm mass in the left upper lobe. A giant bulla occupying about two-thirds of the right thorax was found compressing the adjacent lung parenchyma, shifting the mediastinum to the left. The mass was a primary lung cancer, clinical T2aN0M0, stage IB. Preoperative respirator...
متن کاملTracheobronchomegaly associated with giant emphysematous bullae and bilateral pneumonia: Case report and review of the literatures
Case report: We present a case of TBM seen in a patient with bilateral giant emphysematous bullae and bilateral basal pneumonia. This was diagnosed accidentally by using high resolution computed tomogram of the chest, in a patient who presented with acute shortness of breath secondary to exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that was misdiagnosed because of large bullae a...
متن کاملIncidence and outcomes of surgical resection for giant pulmonary bullae--a population-based study.
BACKGROUND Giant pulmonary bullae (GPB) are rare and there is little information on incidence, long-term prognosis, and outcome of treatment. OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence of GPB in the Icelandic population and to evaluate the outcome of surgical treatment. METHODS Twelve consecutive patients (11 males; mean age 60 ± 15.7 years) underwent resection for GPB in Iceland between 1992 and 2...
