RESUMO

A cirurgia toráeica videoassistida é um método recente de tratamento do pneumotórax espontãneo, Revemos a nossa experiência com 46 doentes (dts) consecutivos, 10 do sexo feminino e 36 do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e us 73 anos (media 38.3 anos), que foram submetidos a 49 videotorncoscopias entre 1993 e 1996. A indicação círúrgica resultou da existência de pneumotórax recorrente em 17 dts. de pneumotórax bilateral em 3 dts e de fuga aérea persistete em 26 doentes.

As bolhas pulmonares foram ressecadas por “stappling” em 30 dts e electrocomaguladas em 3 outros. Em todos os doentes foi efectuada uma abrasão pleural, de tipo mecânico em 10 casos e com talco farmaeêutico sem asbesto nos restantes trinta e seis. Não houve mortalidade operatória. Um doente (2,1 %) foi reoperndo por hemorragia e um outro·(2,1%) por fuga aérea persistente. Os tempos médios de drenagem torácica e de internamento posoperatório foram de, respectivamente, 39,5 boras (máximo 264, minimo 18) e 2,9 dias (máximo 12, minimo 1). “O follow-up” oscillou entre 1 e 46 meses (média 14,4 meses). Não se registou nenhom caso de recorrência de pneumotórax, mantendo todoc 0s doentes uma expansâo pulmonar completa. Estes dados sugerem que a videotoracoscopia é urna alternativa válida á toracotomia clássica no tratamento do poeumotórax esponãnco. O tempo de ioternomcoto é mais curto, a morbilidade é mais baixa e os resultados á distância são excelentes.

ABSTRACT

Video-assisted thoracic surgery has recently evolved as an alternative to thoracoromy in the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. We reviewed 46 consecutive patients (10 female and 36 male patients, aged 17 to 73 years. mean 38.3) who underwent 49 video-assisted thorcic procedures between 1993 e 1996. Seventeen patients had recurrent ipsilateral pneumonthorax, 3 patients bilateral pneumothorax and 26 patients persistent air leak. The must common method of management was “stapling" of an identified bleb in the lung wich was undertaken in 30 (65%.) patients. A pleurodesis was performed in every operated patient; 10 patients had mechanical abrasion while the instillation of tale was used in. 36 patients. There was no operative mortality. One patient (2,1%) had to be reoperated for bleeding and another one (2,1 %) for persistent air leak. Postoperative thoracie drainage ranged from 18 to 164 hours (mean 39.5) and postoperative stay from 1 to 12 days (mean 2.9). Mean follow-up was 24.4months and ranged from 1 to 46 months. There were no instances of recurrent pneumothorax. These data suggest that video-assisted thoracic surgery is n viable alternative to thoracotomy for the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. It results in a short hospital stay, tow morbidity and excellent long term results.
