Pneumothorax complicating therapeutic pneumoperitoneum.
نویسنده
چکیده
Pneumothorax is a rare complication of artificial pneumoperitoneum. Thirty cases have been mentioned in the literature, but only 18 have been described in detail. Full descriptions have been given by Lumsden (1949), Yannitelli, Woodruff, Mueller, and Howard (1949), and Ross and Farber (1951). Jones and Yuill (1952) summarized 10 documented cases and added a case of their own. Since then reports of further single cases have been made by Wu and Neptune (1951), Epstein (1951), Nozzolli, Epstein, and Molnar (1952), Vysniauskas and Brueckner (1953) and Johnson (1954). The cause of the complication and the path of escape of the air have been the chief points of discussion. The following description of yet another case is justified only because this time the point of entry of the air into the pleural cavity was observed through the thoracoscope.
