There was no statistically significant difference inthe survival rates between the two groups (χ2=0.132; p=0.716).Conclusion: Our study results suggest that bronchoscopic approachcan be the first choice in the treatment algorithm of fistulas with adiameter of ≥8 mm presenting with empyema in selected cases.

Objective & Hypothesis:Background: This study aims to compare the results of the opensurgical approach versus endobronchial conical stent application inthe treatment of extensive fistulas.Methods: Between December 2004 and April 2016, a totalof 36 patients (34 males, 2 females; mean age 59.6±8.1 years;range, 40 to 72 years) with a bronchopleural fistula of ≥8 mm indiameter and underwent either conventional open surgery withstump-supported intercostal muscle flap or endobronchial ultra-flexexpandable stenting were retrospectively analyzed.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The demographicand clinical characteristics of the patients, operative data includingthe length of hospital stay, thoracic drainage time, and earlymortality, and survival data were recorded.Results: The mean hospitalization time was 17.4±4.5 days for thebronchoscopic group and 22.5±6.7 days for the invasive surgerygroup (p=0.026).

Abstract

Background: This study aims to compare the results of the opensurgical approach versus endobronchial conical stent application inthe treatment of extensive fistulas.Methods: Between December 2004 and April 2016, a totalof 36 patients (34 males, 2 females; mean age 59.6±8.1 years;range, 40 to 72 years) with a bronchopleural fistula of ≥8 mm indiameter and underwent either conventional open surgery withstump-supported intercostal muscle flap or endobronchial ultra-flexexpandable stenting were retrospectively analyzed. The demographicand clinical characteristics of the patients, operative data includingthe length of hospital stay, thoracic drainage time, and earlymortality, and survival data were recorded.Results: The mean hospitalization time was 17.4±4.5 days for thebronchoscopic group and 22.5±6.7 days for the invasive surgerygroup (p=0.026). The median time to removal of thoracic drainswas 15 (range, 10 to 30) days for the bronchoscopic group and26 (range, 14 to 55) days for the surgical group (p=0.027).Early mortality rates of both approaches were in favor of thebronchoscopic approach (χ2=7.058; p=0.008). Two-year survival ratewas 76.47% (n=13) in the bronchoscopic group and 70% (n=7) in thesurgical group. There was no statistically significant difference inthe survival rates between the two groups (χ2=0.132; p=0.716).Conclusion: Our study results suggest that bronchoscopic approachcan be the first choice in the treatment algorithm of fistulas with adiameter of ≥8 mm presenting with empyema in selected cases.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, büyük fistüllerin tedavisinde açık cerrahi yaklaşımı ve endobronşiyal konik stent uygulamasının sonuçları karşılaştırıldı. Ça­lış­ma pla­nı: Aralık 2004 - Nisan 2016 tarihleri arasında, ≥8 mm çapında bronkoplevral fistülü olan ve güdüğün interkostal kas flebi ile desteklendiği konvansiyonel açık cerrahi veya endobronşiyal ultra-fleks genişleyebilen stentleme yapılan toplam 36 hasta (34 erkek, 2 kadın; ort. yaş 59.6±8.1 yıl; dağılım, 40-72 yıl) retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların demografik ve klinik özellikleri, hastanede yatış süresi, toraks dren süresi ve erken mortalite dahil olmak üzere ameliyat verileri ve sağkalım verileri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Ortalama hastanede yatış süresi, bronkoskopi grubu için 17.4±4.5 gün ve invaziv cerrahi grubu için 22.5±6.7 gün idi (p=0.026). Toraks drenlerinin çıkarılmasına kadar geçen medyan süre bronkoskopi grubu için 15 (dağılım, 10-30) gün ve invaziv cerrahi grubu için 26 (dağılım, 14-55) gün idi (p=0.027). İki yaklaşımın erken mortalite oranı, bronkoskopik yaklaşım lehine idi (χ2 =7.058; p=0.008). İki yıllık sağkalım oranı, bronkoskopi grubunda %76.47 (n=13) ve cerrahi grubunda %70 (n=7) idi. İki grup arasında sağkalım oranları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktu (χ2 =0.132; p=0.716). So­nuç: Çalışma sonuçlarımız, bronkoskopik yaklaşımın, belirli hastalarda ampiyemin eşlik ettiği ≥8 mm çapındaki fistüllerin tedavi algoritmasında ilk seçenek olabileceğini göstermektedir.
