Abstract

Lobar torsion occurs by rotation of a lobe around it's own bronchovascular pedicle and generally seen as a complication of lobectomy. Dyspnea, tachycardia, hemoptysis and increased density in plain radiography are usual signs. We have seen 3 cases of lobar gangrene as lobectomy complication for last ten years. Two of them occurred in right middle lobe, one in left upper lobe. They were diagnosed within first two days and treated by resection of these lobes. Lobar torsion, although a rare complication, can be life threatening. It should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

Özet

Lober torsiyon, bir lobun kendi bronkovasküler pedikülü etrafında dönmesi sonucu meydana gelir ve genellikle lobektomi komplikasyonu olarak görülür. Dispne, taşikardi, hemoptizi ve direkt grafide homojen dansite artışı gibi bulgularla ortaya çıkar. Merkezimizde son 10 yılda lobektomi komplikasyonu olarak 3 lober gangren olgusu ile karşılaştık. Olguların 2'si sağ orta, diğeri sol üst lob yerleşimli idi. Postoperatif ilk 2 gün içinde tanı koyulup gangrene lobların rezeksiyonu ile tedavi edildiler. Lober torsiyon nadir bir komplikasyon olmasına rağmen hayatı tehdit edici olabilir. Bu nedenle erken tanı konulup müdahale edilmelidir.
