Abstract

BACKGROUND In this study, patients with hemothorax due to blunt or penetrating thorax trauma and treated by tube thoracostomy were compared with the patients treated by videothoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in order to determine whether VATS can be the first choice in treatment. METHODS Sixty patients with hemothorax due to trauma were examined prospectively. Thirty patients with isolated hemothorax and treated by tube thoracostomy were classified as Group I (50%), and 30 patients treated by VATS were classified as Group II (50%). Patients were compared according to healing duration, tube thoracostomy duration, hospitalization duration, success rate of treatment, morbidity, and mortality. RESULTS When Group I and II were compared according to the duration of tube thoracostomy and hospitalization, Group I was found to have longer duration statistically (p=0.001). When the two groups were compared according to morbidity, statistical morbidity was found higher in Group I (p=0.030). CONCLUSION VATS seems to be better in the treatment of hemothorax when compared with traditional drainage method because of its advantage of direct diagnosis and hemostasis by diagnostic thoracoscopy. If clotted blood is evacuated, empyema and fibrothorax are preventable. In these cases, chest tube duration and hospital length of stay are shorter. Therefore, these patients can be discharged early.

Özet

AMAÇ Bu çalışmada, künt ve penetre toraks travması sonucu hemotoraks gelişen ve tedavilerinde tüp torakostomi uygulanan olgularla, erken dönemde videotorakoskopi cerrahi (VATS) ile tedavi edilen olgular karşılaştırıldı ve hemotoraks tedavisinde VATS’ın ilk seçenek olup olmayacağı tartışıldı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Künt ve penetre toraks travması ile başvuran ve hemotoraks tespit edilen 60 hasta prospektif olarak incelendi. İzole hemotoraksı tüp torakostomi ile tedavi edilen 30 (%50) olgu Grup I, hemotoraksı VATS ile tedavi edilen 30 (%50) olgu Grup II olarak sınıflandırıldı. Olgular tedaviye verdikleri yanıt, iyileşme süreleri, göğüs tüpü kalma süresi, hastanede kalma süreleri, tedavideki başarı oranı, morbidite ve mortalite yönünden karşılaştırıldı. BULGULAR Her iki grup için intraplevral aralıkta göğüs tüpününü kalış süresi ile hastanade kalış süreleri karşılaştırıldığında bu iki parametrenin de Grup I’de daha uzun ve aralarındaki farkın anlamlı (p=0,001) olduğu saptandı. Her iki grupta morbidite gelişme oranları karşılaştırıldığında aradaki farkın Grup I’de anlamlı (p=0,030) derecede daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. SONUÇ Hemotoraksın tedavisinde VATS klasik drenaj yöntemi ile karşılaştırıldığında diyagnostik torakoskopi ile doğrudan tanı koyma ve hemostazı sağlayarak tedaviyi gerçekleştirmiş olması açısından üstün görünmektedir. Pıhtılaşmış kanın boşaltılmasını sağlayarak fibrotoraks ve ampiyem gelişmini önlemektedir. Bu olgular göğüs tüpü kalış süresi ve hastanede kalış süreleri daha kısa olduğundan erkenden taburcu edilebilmektedirler.
