Pleurodesis
The production of adhesions between the parietal and visceral pleura. The procedure is used in the treatment of bronchopleural fistulas, malignant pleural effusions, and pneumothorax and often involves instillation of chemicals or other agents into the pleural space causing, in effect, a pleuritis that seals the air leak. (From Fishman, Pulmonary Diseases, 2d ed, p2233 & Dorland, 27th ed)
Pleura
The thin serous membrane enveloping the lungs (LUNG) and lining the THORACIC CAVITY. Pleura consist of two layers, the inner visceral pleura lying next to the pulmonary parenchyma and the outer parietal pleura. Between the two layers is the PLEURAL CAVITY which contains a thin film of liquid.

Use of fibrinolytic agents in the management of complicated parapneumonic effusions and empyemas. (1/422)

BACKGROUND: Standard treatment for pleural infection includes catheter drainage and antibiotics. Tube drainage often fails if the fluid is loculated by fibrinous adhesions when surgical drainage is needed. Streptokinase may aid the process of pleural drainage, but there have been no controlled trials to assess its efficacy. METHODS: Twenty four patients with infected community acquired parapneumonic effusions were studied. All had either frankly purulent/culture or Gram stain positive pleural fluid (13 cases; 54%) or fluid which fulfilled the biochemical criteria for pleural infection. Fluid was drained with a 14F catheter. The antibiotics used were cefuroxime and metronidazole or were guided by culture. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive intrapleural streptokinase, 250,000 IU daily, or control saline flushes for three days. The primary end points related to the efficacy of pleural drainage--namely, the volume of pleural fluid drained and the chest radiographic response to treatment. Other end points were the number of pleural procedures needed and blood indices of inflammation. RESULTS: The streptokinase group drained more pleural fluid both during the days of streptokinase/control treatment (mean (SD) 391 (200) ml versus 124 (44) ml; difference 267 ml, 95% confidence interval (CI) 144 to 390; p < 0.001) and overall (2564 (1663) ml versus 1059 (502) ml; difference 1505 ml, 95% CI 465 to 2545; p < 0.01). They showed greater improvement on the chest radiograph at discharge, measured as the fall in the maximum dimension of the pleural collection (6.0 (2.7) cm versus 3.4 (2.7) cm; difference 2.9 cm, 95% CI 0.3 to 4.4; p < 0.05) and the overall reduction in pleural fluid collection size (p < 0.05, two tailed Fisher's exact test). Systemic fibrinolysis and bleeding complications did not occur. Surgery was required by three control patients but none in the streptokinase group. CONCLUSIONS: Intrapleural streptokinase probably aids the treatment of pleural infections by improving pleural drainage without causing systemic fibrinolysis or local haemorrhage.  (+info)

Bilateral hemothorax revealing mediastinal parathyroid adenoma. (2/422)

We report the case of a 63-year-old woman admitted to hospital because of bilateral hemothorax associated with acute respiratory failure and laterotracheal neoformation. A right thoracoscopy biopsy revealed a paratracheal parathyroid adenoma which was responsible for bilateral hemothorax and primary hyperparathyroidism. A curative resection was successfully performed by cervicotomy.  (+info)

The results of thoracoscopic sympathetic trunk transection for palmar hyperhidrosis and sympathetic ganglionectomy for axillary hyperhidrosis. (3/422)

OBJECTIVES: To review our total experience of thoracoscopic sympathetic trunk transection for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis and second and third thoracic sympathetic ganglionectomy for axillary hyperhidrosis. DESIGN: Longitudinal cohort study following up consecutive patients for 0.3 to 5.5 years. SUBJECTS: Fifty-four consecutive patients undergoing thoracoscopic sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis. METHODS: Prospective evaluation of immediate technical success, complications, late recurrence of hyperhidrosis and patient acceptability. RESULTS: 100% initial cure for palmar hyperhidrosis, 91% of sympathetic ganglionectomies for axillary hyperhidrosis were technically successful and initially curative. Compensatory sweating 44% patients, most severe after bilateral sympathetic ganglionectomy. Complications occurred in 14% patients, all resolving without further intervention. There were no cases of Horner's syndrome. 13% patients reported a return of some palmar sweating. 5.4% patients developed recurrent palmar hyperhidrosis at 6, 15 and 21 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Transection of the sympathetic trunk between the first and second thoracic sympathetic ganglia initially cures 100% of patients treated primarily for palmar hyperhidrosis. Technically successful 2nd and 3rd thoracic sympathetic ganglionectomy initially cures 100% of patients with axillary hyperhidrosis. Compensatory sweating is common after bilateral sympathectomy. Recurrent palmar hyperhidrosis occurs in 5.4% of cases, but can be cured by a second thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Horner's syndrome is an avoidable complication of thoracoscopic sympathectomy.  (+info)

Empirical treatment with fibrinolysis and early surgery reduces the duration of hospitalization in pleural sepsis. (4/422)

The efficacy of three different treatment protocols was compared: 1) simple chest tube drainage (Drain); 2) adjunctive intrapleural streptokinase (IP-SK); and 3) an aggressive empirical approach incorporating SK and early surgical drainage (SK+early OP) in patients with pleural empyema and high-risk parapneumonic effusions. This was a nonrandomized, prospective, controlled time series study of 82 consecutive patients with community-acquired empyema (n=68) and high-risk parapneumonic effusions (n=14). The following three treatment protocols were administered in sequence over 6 years: 1) Drain (n=29, chest catheter drainage); 2) IP-SK (n=23, adjunctive intrapleural fibrinolysis with 250,000 U x day(-1) SK); and 3) SK+early OP (n=30, early surgical drainage was offered to patients who failed to respond promptly following initial drainage plus SK). The average duration of hospital stay in the SK+early OP group was significantly shorter than in the Drain and IP-SK groups. The mortality rate was also significantly lower in the SK+early OP than the Drain groups (3 versus 24%). It was concluded that an empirical treatment strategy which combines adjunctive intrapleural fibrinolysis with early surgical intervention results in shorter hospital stays and may reduce mortality in patients with pleural sepsis.  (+info)

Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis in a 14-yr-old female. (5/422)

A case of a 14-yr-old female with necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis (NSG) is presented. She was referred because of chest pain and malaise, and radiography revealed multiple pulmonary nodules. Her history showed seasonal sensitization to aeroallergens and hay fever. Infectious agents or malignancies did not characterize these nodules. However, she was treated with macrolide antibiotics because of suspected infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae. Open lung biopsy showed histological findings of NSG, with epithelioid granulomatous inflammation, including giant cells, and vasculitis. No further treatment was performed, and symptoms disappeared within a few weeks. The chest radiograph showed gradual improvement. The aetiology of NSG is poorly understood, and is postulated to represent either sarcoidosis or rare forms of pulmonary vasculitis such as Wegener's granulomatosis or the Churg-Strauss syndrome. In the case presented, a coincidence of infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae suggests an involvement of infectious agents in the pattern of formation of immune complexes in the aetiology of NSG.  (+info)

Thoracic blastomycosis and empyema. (6/422)

Blastomycosis is endemic in river valley areas of the southeastern and Midwestern United States. Pulmonary manifestations include chronic cough and pleuritic pain. Radiographic appearance of the infection can mimic bronchogenic lung carcinoma. Pleural effusion is rarely associated with this pulmonary infection, and empyema has not been previously reported. We report a case of pulmonary and pleural Blastomyces dermatitidis infection presenting as empyema thoracis. Diagnosis and treatment were attained with video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) pleural and lung biopsy and debridement.  (+info)

Video-assisted thoracoscopy versus open thoracotomy for spontaneous pneumothorax. (7/422)

This retrospective study was designed to compare the contribution of the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open thoracotomy in the management of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP). The medical records of 100 patients with recurring or persisting (SP) treated were reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups: group I treated by thoracotomy while in group II (VATS) was used. There were 96 men and 6 women aged from 16 to 75 years. Indications for operation and sex distribution were comparable. The mean age for group I was 35 years and for group II was 45 years. Hospital stay was identical in both groups. The amount of narcotic requirements was lesser in group II than in group I as well as the postoperative respiratory dysfunction. There have been no recurrence to date (mean follow-up 6 years for the group I and 3 years for the group II). VATS have been shown to produce results comparable to those obtained following open thoracotomy with reduction of postoperative pain, respiratory dysfunction, catabolic response to trauma and decrease in wound related complications. VATS is a valid alternative to open thoracotomy for primary (SP) but it should be used with caution for the management of secondary pneumothorax.  (+info)

Surgical aspects and techniques of lung volume reduction surgery for severe emphysema. (8/422)

Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) has become an accepted procedure for palliative treatment of diffuse, nonbullous emphysema. Single or multiple peripheral segmental wedge resections of the most destroyed areas of the lungs are performed with the use of stapling devices, in order to decrease hyperinflation and restore diaphragmatic function. Median sternotomy, videoendoscopy or anterior muscle sparing thoracotomies have been used as surgical approaches. The functional improvement after bilateral resections exceed those after a unilateral approach. LVRS has demonstrated its potential as an alternative to transplantation, and with growing experience, the indications for the procedure have been widened. In selected patients with peripheral lung cancer who have been considered unsuitable for a surgical resection, the combination of both tumour resection and LVRS has successfully been performed. In contrast to LVRS, laser surgery of the emphysematous lung has been abandoned in most institutions.  (+info)

Use of cryobiopsy during pleuroscopy for diagnosis of sarcomatoid malignant mesothelioma | ThoraxUse of cryobiopsy during pleuroscopy for diagnosis of sarcomatoid malignant mesothelioma | Thorax
Diagnosis of mesothelioma can be challenging for early or sarcomatoid subtype as sampling site, technique and instrument can lead to false-negative histology, especially if biopsy samples are of inadequate depth. This arises from the need to fit the forceps through a small working channel of the pleuroscope, thereby limiting the size of the forceps and its mechanical strength in obtaining deep biopsies. Physicians advocate minithoracotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or insulated-tip knife to procure pleural specimens, which confer diagnostic accuracy ranging from 74-100%.1-3 Grossebner et al1 demonstrated that VATS biopsy achieved 100% histology diagnosis but led to increased hospitalisation stay due to prolonged air leak. Kao et al2 reported that thoracotomy was superior over VATS in achieving accurate subtype classification (83% vs 74%). Nonetheless, flex-rigid pleuroscopy performed under local anaesthesia remains an attractive diagnostic modality and two small studies have ...

While the American College of Cardiology/Heart Rhythm Society/Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (ACC/HRS/SCAI) statement on left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion devices principally focused upon the rapidly evolving technologies for percutaneous occlusion (1), the principles stated in the document-including the need for robust evidence and the importance of multidisciplinary involvement in decision making-are equally relevant to surgical and thoracoscopic approaches as described in the letter from Drs. Emmert and Salzberg.. As the correspondents indicate, several approaches have been suggested to achieve LAA occlusion. However, meaningful comparative outcomes data, both with respect to efficacy and safety for these approaches, are generally lacking. The published studies of surgical and thoracoscopic approaches are uniformly small, performed within few centers, and do not include comparisons with standard therapy (which would include no therapy among patients who cannot ...

In 1992, Cushieri et al. first described the less-invasive thoracoscopic technique for esophageal cancer, [5] and a large-scale, multicenter, prospective study of invasiveness in thoracotomy and thoracoscopic surgery is currently underway in Japan. [6] We performed completely thoracoscopic surgery for esophageal cancer in the left lateral decubitus position on 654 patients between November 1996 and July 2015, representing the largest number of cases of standardized surgery performed in the left lateral decubitus position at a single institution worldwide.. In the early period defined in this study (1996-2008), the surgical procedure was introduced, and surgery was performed mainly by a single operator ...

Background: An etiologic diagnosis cannot be established in 14% of eosinophilic pleural effusions, and these cases are referred as idiopathic. Yet, thoracoscopic diagnostic approach in this entity has never been studied. The aim of our study is to assess thoracoscopic findings in patients with undeterminate eosinophilic pleural effusion.. Methods: We studied all patients with undeterminate eosinophilic pleural effusion during the last 4 years among 168 patients who underwent medical thoracoscopy for diagnosis. Pleural effusion was considered eosinophilic when contained more than 10% of eosinophils. Effusion was classified as idiopathic if no aetiology could be assigned during evaluation. All patients were followed at 1, 3, 6, 12 months.. Results: Patients with undiagnosed eosinophilic effusion were 8 (4.5%). Pleural eosinophilic count ranged from 10% to 59%. Macroscopical examination of the pleura during medical thoracoscopy demonstrated diffuse thickening, associating to inflammation in six ...

MIE may decrease the morbidity and mortality of resection, and single-institution studies have demonstrated successful outcomes with MIE.We conducted a multicenter, phase II, prospective, cooperative group study (coordinated by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) to evaluate the feasibility of MIE. Patients with biopsy-proven high-grade dysplasia or esophageal cancer were enrolled at 17 credentialed sites. Protocol surgery consisted of either 3-stage MIE or Ivor Lewis MIE. The primary end point was 30-day mortality. Secondary end

Introduction. Lung resections using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer have been performed for more than 20 years.1-3 However, it was only after the publication of studies in the early 2000s detailing the extensive experience from a single center with very good results,4 and a multi-center study of 11 surgeons from six centers who underwent certification to assure the uniformity of the procedure,5 that lobectomies using VATS with systematic lymph node dissection became a widespread standard procedure for early-stage non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in many thoracic surgery departments. The procedure has been shown to decrease postoperative morbidities, shorten length of hospital stay,6 and has a comparable five-year survival rate.7,8. A number of meta-analyses on the safety and effectiveness of VATS lobectomies in the early stages of NSCLC suggest lower relapse rates and lower five-year mortality rates in VATS patients,9,10 although the recent report published by ...

Paravertebral Blocks in Thoracoscopy: Single No, Continuous Yes | Anesthesiology | ASA PublicationsParavertebral Blocks in Thoracoscopy: Single No, Continuous Yes | Anesthesiology | ASA Publications
Our approach to postoperative pain management after thoracoscopic surgery includes routine preoperative placement of a single paravertebral catheter at a level of T5 or T6. This is much more time efficient and comfortable for the patient than placing multiple blocks. We have found no loss of analgesic efficacy by eliminating the single-shot blocks at multiple levels and have observed both clinically and with contrast dye injection that the sole catheter does indeed provide for multiple levels of paravertebral blockade. Besides simplicity and a minimum of side effects, the advantages of a single continuous paravertebral catheter are its effectiveness, its flexibility, and its adaptability. A PVB catheter allows for titration of the local anesthetic and extension of nerve blockade as needed. With further bolus dosing and adjustment of infusion rates, PVB analgesia is individualized before patient discharge from the postanesthesia care unit. In fact, our postanesthesia care unit nurses work closely ...

Background: Schwannoma is a benign neoplasm derived from Schwann cells. It is usually located in the intracranial nerves, however intrathoracic presentation is possible, leading to compression of adjacent structures and symptoms. The absence of results from physical examination and the presence of mild symptoms (or absence) common to other diseases makes the diagnosis challenging, usually accomplished through imaging. Treatment consists of surgical resection by thoracotomy or thoracoscopy. This study aimed to review this subject with an emphasis on the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches currently available ...
