Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

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.

Hazardous Procedure

AbstractAcute injuries of the tracheobronchial system are rare and life-threatening situations. Tracheal rupture most commonly occurs after blunt trauma to the chest. It is a rare but most concerning immediate complication of intubation. One-lung ventilation is required in lung surgery. Video assisted thoracoscopic procedures are an absolute indication for one-lung intubation. The double-lumen tube is the mainstay of one lung ventilation. Due to their larger size and rigidity, double lumen tubes are more difficult to insert, and complications are more common than with single lumen tubes. Opinions about the need for checking routinely the position of a double lumen tube by fiber optic bronchoscopy directly after intubation are divided. A 69-year-old woman with epidermoid lung carcinoma was scheduled for video assisted thoracoscopic left upper pulmonary lobectomy under general anaesthesia. The patient was prepared for the operation and itubated with the Carlens double lumen tube as usual. On introducing the camera into the thoracic cavity, the surgeon noted that the lungs were not completely collapsed. During blind adjustment the position of the tube the trachea was ruptured. The right-sided thoracotomy was performed and closed the greater part of the tracheal laceration. Only its upper 1.5-cm segment was surgically inaccessible because of the anatomical situation and thus remained unsutured. The patient received antibiotics, continuous airway humidification, analgesia with piritramide, and chest physiotherapy. She had no complications. In the literature, opinions about checking routinely the position of a double lumen tube by fiber optic bronchoscopy are divided.. Possibly, the very serious complication encountered in our patient could have been avoided, had the tube position been checked by bronchoscopy. The treatment strategy for post-intubation tracheal rupture depends on the size and location of the rupture, its clinical presentation, and the overall condition of the patient). Early surgical repair is the treatment of choice for most patients when a transmural tear with a length exceeding 2 cm. In our the combination of surgical and conservative treatment was performed. The uppermost part of the tear could not be sutured because of the anatomical situation, and so about 1.5 cm of the trachea remained open. The case is interesting from many perspectives. It shows that intubation with a Carlens tube is a potentially hazardous procedure, which should be performed only by experienced anaesthesiologists. Furthermore, our case report underscores the importance of checking routinely the position of a double lumen tube by fiber optic bronchoscopy. It provides evidence that minor tracheal lacerations can be successfully managed by conservative measures.

Ligoniai ir metodai Vilniaus universiteto Onkologijos instituto Krūtinės chirurgijos ir onkologijos skyriuje 1997–2006 m. buvo atliktos 415 vaizdo torakoskopinių operacijų, iš jų 309 (74,7%) – dėl įvairios etiologijos pleuros ligų. Jas aptarsime šiame straipsnyje. Visos intervencijos atliktos bendrosios nejautros sąlygomis, naudojant atskirą bronchų intubaciją. Pacientų amžiaus vidurkis 65 ± 10 metų. Vyrų buvo 203 (65,6%), moterų – 106 (34,4%). Pleuros biopsija ir chemopleurodezė talku buvo atlikta 193 (62,4%) ligoniams, o kitiems 116 (37,6%) ligonių – tik biopsija. Rezultatai Vaizdo torakoskopinės diagnostinės gydomosios intervencijos buvo atliktos 309 ligoniams: pleuros biopsija – 116 (37,5%), o 193 (62,5%) – pleuros biopsija ir chemopleurodezė. Diagnozė verifikuota 292 (94,4%) ligoniams, o kitiems 17 (5,6%) ligonių buvo atliktos kitos chirurginės intervencijos. Vaizdo torakoskopijos metu atlikus biopsiją, diagnozuotos šios ligos: krūtinplėvės piktybinė mezotelioma – 52 (17,8%) ligoniams, išplitęs navikinis procesas – 120 (41%), nepiktybinis navikas – 36 (12,3%), tuberkuliozinis pleuritas – 15 (51,%) ir nespecifinis pleuros uždegimas – 69 (23,6%). Chemopleurodezė atlikta 193 (62,4%) ligoniams dėl šių ligų: pleuros mezoteliomos – 20 (10,3%) ligonių, vėžinės etiologijos pleurito – 80 (41,4%), eksudacinio pleurito – 70 (36,2%), tuberkuliozinio pleurito – 12 (6,2%), limfos kaupimosi pleuroje – 11 (5,6%). Taikant chemopleurodezę talku, visiems ligoniams pavyko sustabdyti skysčio kaupimąsi pleuros ertmėje. Išvados Vaizdo torakoskopijos specifiškumas ir patikimumas diagnozuojant pleuros ligas sudaro 94,4%. Vaizdo torakoskopinė chirurgija yra efektyvus, saugus ir patikimas metodas diagnozuojant ir gydant plaučių bei pleuros ligas. Chemopleurodezė – greičiausias ir patikimiausias bei mažiausiai traumuojantis skysčio kaupimosi pleuros ertmėje stabdymo būdas.

Patients and methods In 1997–2006, 415 patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic procedures and 309 (74.7%) of them for pleuritis in Department of Thoracic Surgery and Oncology, Institute of Oncology, Vilnius University. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia using a double lumen tube. The mean patients’ age was 65 ± 10 years. 203 (65.6%) women and 106 (34.4%) men were operated on. 193 (62.4%) chemopleurodeses with pleural biopsies and for 116 (37.6%) patients only biopsies were performed. Results There were performed 415 video-assisted thoracoscopic investigations due to various pleural and pulmonal pathologies, 309 (74.5%) of them for pleuritis of unknown ethiology. 116 (37.5% ) only pleural biopsies with 193 (62.5%) pleural biopsies and chemopleurodesis. The diagnosis was confirmed in 292 (94.4%) cases using video-assisted troracoscopy and in 17 (5.6%) cases using other surgical interventions. Video-assisted thoracoscopy was performed under general anesthesia using a double-lumen endobronchial tube. After the pathomorfological evaluation of pleural biopsies taken during video-thoracoscopy, the following diseases were confirmed: malignant pleural mesothelioma 52 (17.8%), extended malignant pleural process 120 (41%), benign tumors 36 (12.8%), tuberculosis pleuritis 15 (5.1%) and non-specific pleuritis 69 (23.6%). Chemopleurodesis was performed to 193 (62.4%) patients due to the following diseases: pleural mesothelioma 20 (10.3%), carcinomatoid pleuritis 80 (41.4%), exudative pleuritis 70 (36.2%), tuberculous pleuritis 12 (6.2%) and chylothorax 11 (5.6%). After chemopleurodesis, pleural effusion was observed in none of the patients. Conclusions The specificity of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in pleural diseases reaches 94.4%. Video-assisted thoracic surgery is an effective and safe method of treatment of lung and pleural diseases. Chemopleurodesis is very useful in the treatment of pleural fluid.
