The feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic surgery under epidural and/or local anesthesia for spontaneous pneumothorax: a meta-analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to compare thoracoscopic surgery for spontaneous pneumothorax under epidural and/or local anesthesia (ELA) with that under general anesthesia and prove the feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic surgery under ELA for spontaneous pneumothorax. Relevant studies were searched in five databases from their date of publication to June 2016. We collected and analyzed the data concerning operative time, hospital stay, complications, air leak, recurrence and perioperative mortality. A forest plot was performed to compare the differences between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the ELA group and the general anesthesia (GA) group in operative time, hospital stay, complications, air leak or recurrence. There were 6 deaths reported in two studies. However, patients in the ELA group had significantly shorter global operating room time. Our study demonstrated that ELA, in comparison with GA, is feasible and safe for thoracoscopic surgery of spontaneous pneumothorax.

Cold coagulation of blebs and bullae in the spontaneous pneumothorax: a new procedure alternative to endostapler resection.
Further improvements in the thoracoscopic treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax may reduce the already low invasiveness of the procedure. We have recently experimented with a new device for the coagulation of blebs as an alternative to endostapler resection. Patients with recurrent or persistent spontaneous pneumothorax underwent thoracoscopic treatment. Those with blebs or small bullae were tr...

have reported minimally invasive VATS using ECMO. The use of ECMO, however, has a potential problem with bleeding, especially when pleural adhesion exists. In the present case, we selected VATS under local and epidural anesthesia with preparation of ECMO, expecting less bleeding during the operation and early recovery after the operation. The procedure was well tolerated and the air leakage was...

We performed thoracoscopic wedge resections of blebs with a stapling device under local anesthesia with sedation in 34 consecutive patients who presented with spontaneous pneumothoraces. The indications for surgery included the absence of parietal pleural adhesions and knowledge of the precise bleb location prior to the procedure. Prior to surgery, 0.5% lidocaine was administered into the pleur...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the current study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of nonintubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for the management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). METHODS From November 2011 to June 2013, 32 consecutive patients with PSP were treated by nonintubated uniportal thoracoscopic bullectomy using epidural anaesthesia and sedati...
