Video-assisted thoracoscopy versus open thoracotomy for spontaneous pneumothorax.
This retrospective study was designed to compare the contribution of the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open thoracotomy in the management of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP). The medical records of 100 patients with recurring or persisting (SP) treated were reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups: group I treated by thoracotomy while in group II (VATS) was used. There...
متن کاملSurgical Strategy of Complex Empyema Thoracis
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment of empyema thoracis has been widely debated. Proponents of pleural drainage alone, drainage plus fibrinolytic therapy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical (VATS) debridement, and open thoracotomy each champion the efficacy of their approach. METHODS This study examines treatment of complex empyema thoracis between June 1, 1994, and April 30, 1997. Twenty-one...
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...
متن کاملRoutine video-assisted thoracoscopy prior to thoracotomy.
We investigated the role of routine video-assisted thoracoscopy (VAT) prior to thoracotomy. From June 1993 to May 1995, we routinely performed VAT prior to all our elective thoracotomies in adults. Patients who planned to have video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), those who underwent emergency thoracotomy, and patients younger than 10 years old were excluded from this study. There were 63 pat...
