The treatment of pain after thoracic surgery is a challenge and takes place in the individual clinics mostly according to clinic internal standards. It exists no currently valid S3 guideline for the treatment of acute perioperative and posttraumatic pain. For an effective pain treatment as well individual pain experience as the pain intensity of the various thoracic surgical procedures must be considered. Regular pain assessment with appropriate methods and their documentation form the basis for adequate and adapted pain therapy.There are a number of different pain therapy methods, non-medicamentous and drug-based methods, whose effectiveness is described in the literature partially different. For the treatment of acute postoperative pain after thoracic surgery, mainly drug-related procedures are used, except for physiotherapy as a non-medicamentous method. Increasingly, alternative procedures for the peridural catheter as a therapeutic gold standard in the treatment of pain after thoracic surgery are used. Their application can be integrated into a therapeutic algorithm.

Day By Day

Background: The number of postgraduate students in Cardiac surgical discipline is increasing day by day with incremental proportion are measurably suffering from the unnecessary lingering of the present course curriculum. The primary objective of this study was to find out the last 5 years’ of results of Masters in Surgery course under the University of Dhaka from a student room survey. A secondary objective was to find out positive changes that could show us the way of a step toward up-gradation. Methods: It is a retrospective analysis of all examination results of Cardio-vascular & Thoracic Surgery published since January 2008 to January 2013 from the University of Dhaka with in depth interview of 11 participants. Results: 85.24% students failed to pass part-I of Masters in Surgery for Cardio-vascular & Thoracic Surgery course while, 82.18% in part-II and 71.28% failed to pass the final part. Average 2.51 attempts needed to complete each part of the designed course resulted into lingering of course duration for 42.18 months/student. In the thoracic surgery discipline the number of students alarmingly reduced up to 0% in the recent academic sessions. Conclusions: Masters in Surgery is resulting in unnecessary prolongation of the course. We should step forward to meet the next generation challenge.

Frequent Use

Besides the conventional extracorporeal circulation, commonly used in cardiac surgery, the methods of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) have been applied ever more frequently in thoracic surgery in recent years. The most commonly used modalities of such supports include extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and the Novalung interventional lung assist device (iLA). Successful application of ECLS has led to its more frequent use in general thoracic surgery, especially as a tool to treat hypercapnia and to ensure oxygenation and haemodynamic support. However, these methods are essential in lung transplant programmes; without their help, in most cases, it would not be possible to perform the transplantatioz or prevent the severe complications associated with critical primary graft dysfunction. Additionally, the extracorporeal circulation also facilitates the performing of specific surgical procedures that would not be feasible under standard conditions or would be associated with an inadequate risk. The application of extracorporeal life supports can fundamentally increase the level of resection when treating advanced intrathoracic malignancies that are in close contact with the heart and large vessels or even directly extend into them. Without the possibility of resecting such structures en bloc, together with the tumour, and, thus, achieving an R0 resection, these malignant tumours are often directly contraindicated for surgery or are operated non-radically, i.e. unsuccessfully. Complete tumour resection is the most important prognostic factor in the surgery.

Absztrakt: Bevezetés: Közleményünkben ismertetjük a 2013–2019 közötti időszakban osztályunkon minimálisan invazív módszerrel (video-assisted thoracic surgery – VATS) elvégzett tüdőlobectomiák során szerzett tapasztalatainkat, eredményeinket. Betegek és módszer: 2013. november 1. és 2019. június 30. közötti időszakban osztályunkon 112 VATS lobectomiát végeztünk. A műtéteket izolált intubációval altatott betegeken elülső behatolás technikával végeztük. 98 betegnél malignus, 9 betegnél benignus elváltozás miatt történtek a műtétek. 10 esetben a műtét utáni szövettani diagnózis metasztázis volt. 78 férfi és 34 nőbetegen végeztük a műtéteket. A betegek átlagéletkora 60,5 (42–63) év volt. Az eltávolított lebenyek megoszlása a következő volt: bal felső: 5, bal alsó: 36, Jobb felső: 15, középső: 11, jobb alsó: 44, pulmonectomia: 1. Eredmények: Műtéti halálozás nem volt. Konverzióra 3 alkalommal kényszerültünk. Az átlagos műtéti idő 150 (70–215) perc volt. Reoperációt 2 betegnél végeztünk, vérzés, légáteresztés miatt. A 112 műtét során 88 betegnél primer tüdőrák, 9 betegnél jóindulatú elváltozás/gyulladás miatt történt a műtét. 10 esetben más szerv tumora miatti metasztázis miatt végeztük a beavatkozásokat. A primer tüdőrák miatt végzett műtétek stádium szerinti megoszlása a szövettani eredmények alapján a következő volt: I.a: 57, I.b: 22, II.a: 6, II.b: 3. A szövettani típus szerinti megoszlás: adenocarcinoma: 52, laphámrák: 23, kissejtes carcinoma: 2, nagysejtes carcinoma: 5, carcinoid: 6 volt. Következtetés: Osztályunkon a szükséges tanuló időszak után a VATS lobectomia megfelelő indikáció szerint rutin műtéti eljárássá vált. Jelenleg mellkasi műtéteink 65%-a, a lobectomiák több mint 50%-a VATS technikával történik. Eredményeink az országos és az irodalmi adatoknak megfelelnek.
