Video-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 کاملPostoperative recurrences of pneumothorax in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax in young patients.
PURPOSE The postoperative recurrence rate of pneumothorax tends to be higher with thoracoscopic bullectomy than with conventional plication of bullae by axillary thoracotomy or posterolateral thoracotomy. We analyzed the risk factors for postoperative recurrence of pneumothorax in young patients treated with thoracoscopic bullectomy alone for primary spontaneous pneumothorax. METHODS Univaria...
متن کاملPrimary spontaneous pneumothorax due to high bleb burden
Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) occurs most frequently in young, tall, lean, male smokers without any known underlying lung disease. It is an important diagnosis to make promptly in order to prevent progression to obstructive shock. We present a case report of a young, male, former-smoker and polysubstance abuser with no prior lung history that developed acute dyspnea at rest and was fou...
متن کاملcorrelating radiology with thoracoscopic findings in a case of primary spontaneous pneumothorax in a child
conclusions in cases of pontaneous pneumothorax, chest x ray and computerised tomographic scan have limitations. ct scan in combination with video assisted thoracoscopic surgery improves diagnostic accuracy and facilitates appropriate management of non-resolving spontaneous pneumothorax. objectives a 15 year old boy presented to the referring hospital with a right sided spontaneous pneumothorax...
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...
