Abstract

OBJECTIVE: As a heterogeneous group of diseases with or without known aetiologies, interstitial lung diseases (ILD) have common clinical, radiological, and physiological properties, includ- ing the involvement of the lung interstitium. Bronchoscopy does not obtain typical findings for the diagnosis of ILD. The main aim of bronchoscopy is to provide the diagnosis by taking bron- choalveolar lavage (BAL) and transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) materials. Lung biopsy is the most reliable diagnostic method in ILD. Lung biopsy can be accompanied by thoracotomy or vide- othoracoscopy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The purpose of this study was to determine the preferred type of surgery in the diagnosis of ILD, comparing the lung biopsy method by thoracotomy with the lung biopsy method by videothoracoscopy, in terms of the aver- age operation time, the total cost of the surgery, the mean chest tube duration, diagnostic efficiency, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay and total hospital stay. RESULTS: Twenty patients in the thoracotomy group and 19 patients in the videothoracoscopic group for lung biopsy were studied. At the end of the study, no significant difference was observed for the age, gender, operating time, chest tube, duration of stay, diagnostic efficiency, and total duration of hospital stay between the two groups. However, postoperative hospital stay was significantly longer in the videothoracoscopic biopsy group. Again, the videothoracoscopic biopsy method was found to be significantly more cost-effective implementation in comparison with the thoracotomy method. CONCLUSION: The videothoracoscopic biopsy method should be preferred against the biopsy method with thoracotomy, as it has advantages such as less postoperative pain, a cosmetically small incision and more patient comfort, despite the high cost of application.

Özet

Amaç: İnterstisyel akciğer hastalığı (İAH) çoğu ortak klinik, radyolojik, ve fizyolojik özelliklere sahip olan ve akciğer interstis- yumunu tutan, bilinen veya bilinmeyen nedenlere bağlı gelişen heterojen bir hastalık grubudur. İAH tanısında bronkoskopi ile çok fazla tipik bulgu elde edilemez. Bronkoskopinin asıl amacı, bronkoalveoler lavaj (BAL) ve transbronşiyal akciğer biyopsisi (TBAB) gibi materyaller alarak tanıya gitmektir. İAH’de en güve- nilir tanı yöntemi akciğer biyopsisidir. Biyopsi torakotomi ile açık akciğer biyopsisi şeklinde olabileceği gibi videotorakoskopi ilede yapılabilmektedir. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMLER: Bu çalışmanın amacı İAH’da tanı amacıyla tercih edilecek cerrahi tipini belirlemek amacıyla, torakotomi ile akciğer biyopsisi yöntemiyle videotorakoskopik akciğer biyopsisi yöntemini; ortalama ameliyat süresi, toplam ameliyat maliyeti, ortalama göğüs tüpü kalış süresi, tanısal verimlilik, pos- toperatif komplikasyonlar, postoperatif hastanede kalma süresi ve toplam hastanede kalma süresi açısından karşılaştırmaktır. BULGULAR: Torakotomi ile akciğer biyopsisi uygulanan gruptan 20 hasta, videotorakoskopik akciğer biyopsisi uygulanan gruptan ise 19 hasta alındı. Çalışmanın sonunda her iki grup arasında yaş, cinsiyet, ameliyat süreleri, göğüs tüpü kalma süreleri, tanısal verimlilik, toplam hastanede kalma süreleri yönünden anlamlı fark izlenmedi. Fakat postoperatif hastanede kalma süresi video- torakoskopik biyopsi uygulanan grupta anlamlı olarak daha uzun bulundu. Yine videotorakoskopik biyopsi yönteminin, torakotomi ile biyopsi yöntemine göre anlamlı şekilde daha maliyetli bir uy- gulama olduğu tespit edildi. SONUÇ: Videotorakoskopik biyopsi yöntemi, postoperatif ağrısının daha az olması, kozmetik olarak daha küçük bir kesi bırakması ve hasta konforunun daha iyi olması gibi avantajları, maliyeti yüksek bir uygulama olmasına rağmen, torakotomiye tercih edilmelidir.
