Abstract

Lung herniation is described as the protrusion of lungtissue and pleura out of the thoracic cavity throughan abnormal gap in the chest wall. We present acase with a rare lateral lung herniation. The patientwas taken for urgent surgery and an anterolateralthoracotomy was carried out. Pursuant to rib andlung parenchyma repair, the herniation defect wasclosed without a prosthetic graft. The patient wasdischarged on the postoperative fifth day with fullrecovery. Although there is a lack of consensus onthe timing of surgery, we are of the opinion that inblunt thorax trauma-induced symptomatic lung hernias, operating on the patient is appropriate as soon asa diagnosis is established should be advised.

Özet

Akciğer herniasyonu, göğüs duvarındaki anormal bir açıklıktan akciğer dokusu ve plevranın toraks kavitesi dışına çıkması olarak tanımlanır. Burada, nadir görülen lateral akciğer hernili bir olguyu sunduk. Hasta acil ameliyata alınarak anterolateral torakotomi yapıldı. Kaburga ve akciğer parankim tamirinin ardından prostetik greft kullanmadan herni defekti kapatıldı. Hasta postoperatif beşinci günde şifa ile taburcu edildi. Cerrahinin zamanlaması konusunda tam bir fikir birliği bulunmamasına rağmen, künt toraks travmasına bağlı gelişen semptomatik akciğer hernilerinde, tanı konulduğu anda ameliyat yapılmasının uygun olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
