[Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for spontaneous pneumothorax].
OBJECTIVE To explore the operational procedures, indications, and the long-term results of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. METHODS One hundred seventy three cases of spontaneous pneumothorax treated with VATS in our hospital between 1995 and 2001 were analyzed. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) was found in 157 cases and secondary...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pneumothorax.
Five cases of spontaneous pneumothorax were treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). These included four cases of recurrent pneumothorax and one case of persistent pneumothorax. The mean age was 33 years. The identified bullae were eliminated with either endoloop ligation (in one patient) or stapled excision (in four patients). There were no recurrences reported in a mean follo...
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 کاملOutcome of Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Spontaneous Secondary Pneumothorax
BACKGROUND Conventional treatment (i.e. chest tube insertion and chemical pleurodesis) still remains standard for patients with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax because the risk of surgical bullectomy is deemed high in this subset. However, it has been suggested that surgical treatment using thoracoscopy may expedite postoperative recovery and, thus, may reduce hospital stay. MATERIALS AND ...
متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for the Treatment of First-Time Spontaneous Pneumothorax versus Conservative Treatment.
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE WORK Recent studies have shown that video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) is safe and beneficial as first time treatment for patients presenting with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). In this study we will compare the outcome of patients presenting with first time PSP treated by VATS with those treated conservatively. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a prospective do...
