Abstract

Background: This study aims to examine the indications, timing and risk factors of rethoracotomy, analyze the postoperative results, and give suggestions to reduce the risks.Methods: A total of 3,292 patients operated via thoracotomy between January 2006 and January 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. Demographic data, initial operative indications, surgical procedures, indications for rethoracotomy and preoperative risk factors, intraoperative findings and surgical methods, timing of rethoracotomy, morbidity and mortality results were analyzed of 66 patients (60 males, 6 females; mean age 59.4±12.4 years; range, 17 to 80 years) who were performed rethoracotomy before being discharged. Rethoracotomies performed within 72 hours after the first operation constituted the early and those performed after 72 hours constituted the late rethoracotomy group.Results: Rethoracotomy was performed in average 4.7 days (range, 1 to 17 days). Early rethoracotomy was performed on 42 patients (1.3%) and 38 (90.4%) of these were due to hemorrhage. The most frequent indication for rethoracotomy was hemorrhage (n=41, 1.2%), followed by bronchopleural fistula (n=17, 0.5%). The other indications were chylothorax, lobe torsion, parenchymal air leak and collapse, and diaphragmatic laceration. Eight patients had rib fractures and all of these patients were over the age of 60. Eight patients who were performed rethoracotomy due to hemorrhage were using antiaggregant drugs. The postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were 33.3% (n=22) and 24.2% (n=16), respectively. Conclusion: Rethoracotomy still has high morbidity and mortality rates. The main cause of rethoracotomy performed due to hemorrhage may be rib fractures or antiaggregant drugs. The most remarkable indications of rethoracotomy are hemorrhage and bronchopleural fistula.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, retorakotominin endikasyonları, zamanlaması ve risk faktörleri incelendi, ameliyat sonrası sonuçlar analiz edildi ve risklerin azaltılması için önerilerde bulunuldu. Çalış­ma­ planı:­ Ocak 2006 - Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında torakotomi yolu ile ameliyat edilen toplam 3292 hasta retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Taburcu edilmeden önce retorakotomi yapılmış 66 hastanın (60 erkek, 6 kadın; ort. yaş 59.4±12.4 yıl; dağılım, 17-80 yıl) demografik verileri, ilk ameliyat endikasyonları, cerrahi prosedürleri, retorakotomi endikasyonları ve ameliyat öncesi risk faktörleri, ameliyat sırası bulgular ve cerrahi yöntemler, retorakotomi zamanlaması, morbidite ve mortalite sonuçları analiz edildi. İlk ameliyattan sonra 72 saat içinde yapılan retorakotomiler erken ve 72 saatten sonra yapılanlar geç retorakotomi grubunu oluşturdu. Bulgular: Retorakotomi ortalama 4.7 günde (dağılım, 1-17 gün) yapıldı. Erken retorakotomi 42 hastada (%1.3) yapıldı ve bunların 38’i (%90.4) kanamadan dolayı idi. Retorakotominin en sık endikasyonu kanamaydı (n=41, %1.2) ve bunu bronkoplevral fistül takip etti (n=17, %0.5). Diğer endikasyonlar; şilotoraks, lob torsiyonu, parankimal hava kaçağı ve kollaps ve diafragmatik laserasyon idi. Sekiz hastada kaburga kırığı vardı ve bu hastaların hepsi 60 yaş üstü idi. Kanamadan dolayı retorakotomi yapılan sekiz hasta, antiagregan ilaç kullanıyordu. Ameliyat sonrası morbidite ve mortalite sırasıyla %33.3 (n=22) ve %24.2 (n=16) idi. Sonuç:­ Retorakotomi hala yüksek morbidite ve mortalite oranlarına sahiptir. Kaburga kırıkları veya antiagregan ilaçlar, kanama nedeni ile yapılan retorakotominin ana nedeni olabilir. Retorakotominin en dikkat çekici endikasyonları kanama ve bronkoplevral fistüldür.
