Thoracic trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, if not treated promptly. 80% to 85% of chest injuries can be treated with chest tube insertion alone. However, in about four to 20% of population, there is incomplete clearance of hemothorax following tube insertion and can lead to a condition called retained hemothorax. The purpose of this review is to establish the role and effectiveness of Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in successful evacuation of retained hemothorax following blunt thoracic trauma. Relevant articles from databases like Pubmed, Google scholar, Medline and Cochrane library were included. A retained hemothorax is defined as the persistence of residual clots in the pleural cavity, which is radiologically evident, 72 hours following initial tube thoracostomy. The various options to manage this condition include observation, insertion of second thoracostomy tube, intrapleural fibrinolytic, VATS or thoracotomy. Based on review of existing studies, VATS evacuation was found to have shorter hospital stay, lesser costs and shorter duration of tube drainage. There was also lesser rate of conversion to thoracotomy as compared to other methods and fewer complications like fibrothorax and empyema. In hemodynamically unstable patients, which is a contraindication to VATS, use of intrapleural fibrinolytics like streptokinase may be considered as an alternative option to provide clearance of the retained hemothorax. Retained hemothorax, when encountered following thoracic trauma, can be effectively managed by VATS. The decision to use VATS for hemothorax evacuation should be made promptly for maximum results, especially within three to seven days following trauma.

Diana Samiatina, Romaldas RubikasKauno medicinos universiteto klinikųTorakalinės chirurgijos klinikaEivenių g. 2, KaunasEl paštas: [email protected] Tikslas Įrodyti, kad vaizdo torakoskopija yra pirmo pasirinkimo atvirų krūtinės traumų diagnostikos ir gydymo metodas, jei ligonio būklė stabili. Ligoniai ir metodai Retrospektyviai išanalizuotos ligonių, 1997–2003 m. operuotų nuo atviros krūtinės traumos, ligos istorijos. Tarpusavyje palyginti du chirurginio gydymo metodai: urgentinė torakotomija ir vaizdo torakoskopija. Vertinta dreno buvimo pleuros ertmėje, gydymo po operacijos trukmė, ankstyvos pooperacinės komplikacijos, skausmo intensyvumas pooperaciniu laikotarpiu, kosmetinis efektas, vaizdo torakoskopijos, kaip minimaliai invazinės chirurgijos metodo, jautrumas, specifiškumas, teigiama ir neigiama prognostinės vertės. Duomenų analizei naudota SPSS statistinė programa. Grupių skirtumai statistiškai vertinti taikant Mann-Whitney U testą. Grupių skirtumai laikyti statistiškai reikšmingais, kai paklaidos tikimybė p < 0,05. Rezultatai 1997–2003 m. nuo atviros krūtinės traumos operuoti 146 ligoniai. Keturiasdešimt septyniems ligoniams atlikta urgentinė vaizdo torakoskopija, iš jų 9 vėliau operuoti per torakotomijos pjūvį. Devyniasdešimt aštuoniems atlikta urgentinė torakotomija: 79 operuoti nuo izoliuotos atviros krūtinės traumos, 17 – nuo torakoabdominalinio ir 2 – nuo abdominotorakalinio sužalojimo. 12,3% ligonių po urgentinės torakotomijos dėl pilvaplėvės organų pažeidimo atlikta urgentinė laparotomija. Dreno buvimo pleuros ertmėje trukmė po vaizdo torakoskopijos – 4,57 dienos, po urgentinės torakotomijos – 6,88 dienos (p < 0,05). Gydymo po vaizdo torakoskopijos trukmė – 8,21 dienos, po urgentinės torakotomijos – 14,89 dienos (p < 0,05). Suvartotų nenarkotinių analgetikų kiekis po vaizdo torakoskopijos – 1056,98 mg, po urgentinės torakotomijos – 1966,70 mg (p < 0,05). Vaizdo torakoskopijos diagnostinė vertė, t. y. jautrumas ir specifiškumas, yra atitinkamai 0,67 ir 0,86, teigiama ir neigiama prognostinė vertė – atitinkamai 0,95 ir 0,375. Išvados Vaizdo torakoskopija – tai minimaliai invazinės chirurgijos metodas, leidžiantis įvertinti patologinius plaučio, perikardo, diafragmos, tarpuplaučio, krūtinės sienos, pleuros pokyčius, nustatyti tikslią jų lokalizaciją, sužalojimo pobūdį ir sunkumą. Palyginti su operacijomis per torakotomijos pjūvį, po vaizdo torakoskopijos buvo mažiau ankstyvų poopercinių komplikacijų, sutrumpėjo dreno buvimo pleuros ertmėje ir gydymo stacionare trukmė. Vaizdo torakoskopija turėtų būti atliekama visiems pacientams, patyrusiems atvirą krūtinės traumą, jei hemodinamika ir kvėpavimo funkcija stabili. Vaizdo torakoskopija – informatyvus diagnostikos ir gydymo metodas, leidžiantis atrinkti ligonius urgentinei torakotomijai.

Patients and methods A retrospective analysis was made of case reports of patients operated on for open chest trauma during 1997–2003. Two methods of surgical treatment (urgent video-assisted thoracoscopy and urgent thoracotomy) were compared. The duration of drain presence in the pleural cavity, the duration of postoperative treatment, pain intensity and cosmetic effect were assessed. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical software. Statistical evaluation of differences among the groups was performed using the Mann–Whitney U test. The differences among the groups were considered statistically significant at the probability of deviation p < 0.05. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative prognostic values of video-assisted thoracoscopy were evaluated. Results During 1997–2003, 146 patients with open chest trauma were operated on. Fourty seven patients underwent urgent video-assisted thoracoscopy, 98 patients were operated on through thoracotomy incision: 79 due to isolated open chest trauma, 17 due to thoracoabdominal injury, and 2 due to abdominothoracic injury. For 12.3% of patients, after urgent thoracotomy we made urgent laparatomy due to a the damaged diaphragm or other organs of the peritoneal cavity. Conversion of video-assisted thoracoscopy to operation through thoracotomy incision was employer in 9 cases. The duration of drain presence in the pleural cavity after video-assisted thoracoscopy was 4.57 days and after urgent thoracotomy 6.88 days (p < 0.05). The duration of post-operative treatment after video-assisted thoracoscopy was 8.21 days and after urgent thoracotomy 14.89 days (p < 0.05). The consumed non-narcotic analgesics after video-assisted thoracoscopy amounted to 1056.98 mg and after urgent thoracotomy to 1966.70 mg (p < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative prognostic values of video-assisted thoracoscopy were 0.67; 0.86; 0.95; 0.375. Conclusions Video-assisted thoracoscopy is a minimal invasive method of thoracic surgery, allowing evaluation of the pathological changes in the lung, pericardium, diaphragm, mediastinum, thoracic wall and pleura, including the localization of these changes and the type and severity of the injury. The number of early post-operative complications following video-assisted thoracoscopy is lower. In comparison with operations through thoracotomy incision, video-assisted thoracoscopies entail the shortening of the duration of drain presence in the pleural cavity and the duration of post-operative treatment. Video-assisted thoracoscopy should be performed on all patients with open chest trauma, showing a stable hemodynamics and respiratory function. Video-assisted thoracoscopy is an informative diagnostic and treatment method allowing for the selection of patients for urgent thoracotomy.

Absztrakt Célkitűzés: A myasthenia gravis (MG) kezelésében számos nyitott, illetve minimálisan invazív thymectomia ismert. A tanulmány ugyanazon intézeten belül a transsternalis (TS), illetve kétféle minimálisan invazív thymectomia (video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy – VATET; unilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery – UL-VATS) eredményeit hasonlítja össze. Anyag és módszerek: Három különböző időintervallumban 71 betegnél történt thymectomia MG miatt (60 nő, 11 férfi): 23 transsternalis thymectomia (1995. január–2004. szeptember), 22 VATET (2004. szeptember – 2009. augusztus) és 26 UL-VATS thymectomia (2009. szeptember – 2011. december). Az eredmények értékelésénél a műtéti idő, MG-hez társuló neurológiai és a műtét utáni sebészi szövődmények, valamint az MG státuszában az egyéves utánkövetéskor észlelt neurológiai változások szerepeltek. Eredmények: Perioperatív mortalitás nem fordult elő. A műtéti idő 112, 211, 116 perc (p = 0,001), a kórházi napok száma: 8,9, 5,6 és 4 nap (p = 0,001) volt a TS-, VATET- és UL-VATS-csoportban. Az MG-hez kapcsolódó postoperativ neurológiai szövődmények 21,7%, 18,2% és 7,7% (p = 0,365) értékeket mutattak. A sebészi szövődmény 4,3%, 13,7%, 0% (p = 0,118) volt. Az MG tüneteinek javulása 91,3%, 94,7%, 87,5% (p = 0,712), míg komplett remisszió 13%, 10,5%, 11,5% (p = 0,917) volt a TS-, VATET- és UL-VATS-csoportokban. Következtetések: A műtéti idő, valamint a kórházban eltöltött napok száma UL-VATS esetében volt a legrövidebb. A kisebb sebészi beavatkozáshoz alacsonyabb sebészi, illetve MG-s neurológiai szövődmények társultak. Az MG-tünetek javulásában mindhárom módszernél kiváló eredményt értek el.

Abstract Objective To investigate whether laryngeal mask anesthesia had more favorable postoperative outcomes than double-lumen tube intubation anesthesia in uniportal thoracoscopic thymectomy. Methods Data were collected retrospectively from December 2013 to December 2017. A total of 96 patients with anterior mediastinum mass underwent nonintubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy with laryngeal mask, and 129 patients underwent intubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy. A single incision of ∼3 cm was made in an intercostal space along the anterior axillary line. Perioperative outcomes between nonintubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NU-VATS) and intubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (IU-VATS) were compared. Results In both groups, incision size was kept to a minimum, with a median of 3 cm, and complete thymectomy was performed in all patients. Mean operative time was 61 minutes. The mean lowest SpO2 during operation was not significantly different. However, the mean peak end-tidal carbon dioxide in the NU-VATS group was higher than in the IU-VATS group. Mean chest tube duration in NU-VATS group was 1.9 days. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.5 days, with a range of 1 to 4 days. Time to oral fluid intake in the NU-VATS group was significantly less than in the IU-VATS group (p < 0.01). Several complications were significantly less in the NU-VATS group than in the IU-VATS group, including sore throat, nausea, irritable cough, and urinary retention. Conclusion Compared with intubated approach, nonintubated uniportal thoracoscopic thymectomy with laryngeal mask is feasible for anterior mediastinum lesion, and patients recovered faster with less complications.
