Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusion by using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).Patients and methods: Between January 1996 and December 2006 the procedure of video assisted thoracoscopic talc pleurodesis has been applied to 203 patients, 83 female, 120 male who have malignant pleural effusion with the aim of performing a palliative pleurodesis. The effusion was on the right side in 103 patients, on the left side in 89, and bilateral in 11. With the aid of a pulverizer, 4 g talc was pulverized into 33 patients under local anesthesia, and in to 170 patients under general anesthesia with one lung ventilation performed by using double lumen endotracheal tube.Results: There was no intraoperative complication. Prolonged air leak occurred in 8 patients because of tissue damage and needed second pleurodesis. The chest tube was removed when fluid drainage was less than 100 ml/24h. All patients were discharged the next day. The postoperative hospital stay ranged from 2-8 days.Conclusions: The application of 4 g talc with the aid of video-thoracoscopy in malignant pleural effusion is an effective and inexpensive procedure with low morbidity that reduces the hospital stay.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı malign plevral effüzyonda video yardımlı torakoskopi ile yapılan talk plörodezis sonuçlarını incelemektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 1996-Aralık 2006 tarihleri arasında, malign plevral effüzyonu olan toplam 203 hastaya plörodezis oluşturmak amacıyla video yardımlı torakoskopi ile talk pudrajı uygulandı. Seksen üç kadın (%41), 120 erkek olgudan oluşan çalışma grubunun yaş aralığı 20-78 yıl (ortalama:53,7 yıl) idi. Olguların 103'ünde (%50,7) sağ, 89'unda (%43,8) sol ve 11'inde (%5) bilateral malign plevral effüzyon mevcuttu. Bu olguların 33'üne (%16) lokal, 170'ine (%84) genel anestezi altında çift lümenli endotrakeal tüp kullanarak tek akciğer ventilasyonu ile 4 gr talk, pulvarizatör yardımı ile insufle edildi.Bulgular: İntraoperatif komplikasyon görülmedi. 8 olguda (% 3,9) parankim hasarına bağlı uzamış hava kaçağı görüldü ve ikinci kez plörodezis yapıldı. Drenaj 100 ml/24 saat'in altına indiğinde göğüs drenleri çekildi. Göğüs drenleri çekilen olgular genellikle bir gün sonraki kontrol ön-arka akciğer grafileri görülerek taburcu edildi. Olguların hastanede operasyon sonrası kalış süreleri 2-8 gün arasında idi (ortalama: 4,3 gün)Sonuç: Malign plevral effüzyonda video yardımlı torakoskopi ile 4 gr talk plörodezis uygulaması hastanede kalış süresini azaltan, etkili, ucuz ve düşük morbidite insidansı olan bir cerrahi yöntemdir.
