Plication of the diaphragm in symptomatic patients with phrenic nerve paralysis provides excellent relief of exertional dyspnea and significantly increases arterial oxygen tension, and all lung volumes except residual volume. We report diaphragmatic plication using the minimally invasive technique of VATS. This procedure provides excellent relief of symptoms with minimal morbidity and short hospitalization. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Diaphragm paralysis after cardiac surgery may be secondary to phrenic nerve injury by ice, electrocautery, or dissection. Although most are asymptomatic, some patients, particularly children, have significant respiratory compromise. Video-assisted plication may offer more rapid improvement and recovery than thoracotomy in pediatric patients. METHODS: We performed five procedures. The diaphragm was elevated, clamped, oversewn, and tacked down into the pleural gutter. The procedure was performed on 2 infants after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, on 1 child after the Fontan procedure, on 1 child after repair of tetralogy of Fallot, and on 1 child with congenital eventration. Indications included ventilator dependency, post-Fontan protein losing enteropathy with elevated venous pressures and chronic right lower lobe collapse, persistent atelectasis with recurrent pneumonias, and asymptomatic severe eventration. RESULTS: Ventilator-dependent patients were extubated after 2 and 3 days. The remaining patients were immediately extubated. One patient was discharged the day of surgery and 2 were discharged at 1 and 3 days postoperatively. The remaining 2 were discharged on postoperative day 30 and 45 after continued issues with feeding and prematurity. The child with the eventration had rapid expansion and growth of the left lung over the next few weeks with a normal chest radiograph 3 weeks later. The child with recurrent pneumonia reexpanded her left lower lobe and remains free of infection. There were no wound infections, lung or vascular injuries, or complications from the procedure. All the patients had successful flattening of the hemidiaphragm as documented by chest radiograph, with successful lung reexpansion. CONCLUSIONS: Video-assisted plication of paralyzed diaphragms is effective and safe, involves less morbidity, and has quicker recovery times than traditional open techniques. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: We performed a retrospective comparison of the oncological outcome of thoracoscopic surgery for pulmonary metastasis with that of conventional open thoracotomy. METHODS: The patient population for our retrospective comparison was comprised of 45 patients undergoing pulmonary resections via video-assisted thoracoscopy (thoracoscopy group) and 55 undergoing similar resections by open thoracotomy (open group) for pulmonary metastases between 1994 and 1999. RESULTS: Solitary metastasis was resected more frequently with thoracoscopy than open thoracotomy. There were no significant intergroup differences in rates of local recurrence from the initial pulmonary resection site. The actuarial 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival rates were, respectively, 82.8%, 70.0%, and 62.3% in the thoracoscopy group and 93.6%, 64.6%, and 52.7% in the open group. The rates of pulmonary recurrence and survival also did not differ significantly between the two groups with solitary metastases. CONCLUSION: Thoracoscopic surgery for metastatic lung disease appears to be feasible as long as the preoperative metastatic tumor evaluation using chest computed tomography (CT) is accurate. 相似文献

IntroductionDiaphragmatic eventration, defined as permanent elevation of the diaphragm without defects, is a rare anomaly in adults. Trauma, neoplasms, infection, and degenerative disease are the most common causes of this condition, whereas idiopathic eventration of the diaphragm is relatively infrequent.Presentation of caseWe herein present the rare case of an 85-year-old female with idiopathic eventration of the bilateral diaphragm. The patient demonstrated a rapidly progressive course with dyspnea; therefore, thoracoscopic surgery of the unilateral diaphragm was performed. She subsequently withdrew from home oxygen therapy, which had introduced preoperatively, and exhibited a significant improvement in her pulmonary function for one year after the operation.DiscussionVarious approaches for diaphragmatic plication have been reported, including open (transthoracic or transabdominal) and minimally invasive methods, such as thoracoscopic or laparoscopic plication. We consider thoracoscopic plication to be an effective minimally invasive method, although single-lung ventilation is required.ConclusionWe experienced a case in which thoracoscopic plication of the unilateral diaphragm resulted in adequate objective improvements in the pulmonary function in a patient with idiopathic eventration of the bilateral diaphragm. 相似文献

Backgroud: The study aims to discuss indications for conversion to thoracotomy in completely thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods: From September 2006 to April 2010, 306 patients (164 men, 142 women, median age 58.1 years, range 15 to 86 years) underwent completely thoracoscopic lobectomy. There were 223 cases of primary lung cancer, 11 other malignant diseases and 72 cases of benign disease. The steps of the thoracoscopic procedures are almost identical to those of traditional open lobectomy, which requires standard mediastinal lymph node dissection for primary lung cancer patients. When conversion to an open procedure is necessary, such as in the presence of lymph node adhesions or metastases and bleeding, operative incisions are extended 12–15 cm towards lower angle of the scapula, retractors are used to separate the ribs, and the procedure is completely under direct visualization. Results: All procedures were performed without significant complications or intraoperative deaths. The average surgical duration was 195 min, and average blood loss was 256 mL with no blood transfusions required. The average chest tube drainage duration was 7.45 days. The average post‐operative hospital stay was 10.34 days. There were 27 cases (8.8%) of conversion to open thoracotomy, for the reasons of interference by lymph nodes (n= 18), bleeding (n= 4), inflammatory adhesions of arteries (n= 3) and large size tumours (n= 2). Conclusion: Adhesions or lymph node metastases and bleeding were the most important causes of conversion to thoracotomy in completely thoracoscopic lobectomy. Large tumours, fused fissures and dense pleural adhesions can always be managed thoracoscopically. 相似文献

Over a 2-year period (1987-1988), 31 children (3% of 960 operations) were found to have a paralysed diaphragm following cardiac surgery. The median age was 5 months with 65% less than 1 year of age. In the 31 patients, 38 paralysed diaphragms were identified. The phrenic nerve injury was on the right in 8 cases, the left in 16, bilateral in 7 and 40% were related to modified Blalock Taussig shunts. The time to extubation was analysed for each patient in two separate groups: Group A: (greater than 1 year): 11 children of whom 5 were extubated without difficulty, 4 had non-respiratory reasons for prolonged ventilation and only 2 were plicated--both were extubated within 4 days. Group B: (less than 1 year): 20 infants of whom 16 were plicated and 4 were not. Three of the children who were plicated died from cardiac causes. Of the 13 survivors, there were 3 who had other reasons for prolonged ventilation. Thus 10 infants required prolonged ventilation (mean 11 days) because of respiratory difficulties. All underwent plication and were extubated at a mean of 2.4 days postoperatively. The 4 who were not plicated were extubated at a mean of 11 days postoperatively. In infants in whom there is no cardiac cause for failure to wean from ventilation, diaphragmatic paralysis should be suspected and plication performed if not extubated 2 weeks after operation. 相似文献

Diaphragmatic paralysis is an uncommon condition characterized by significant elevation of a hemidiaphragm, and can cause dyspnea. The goal of diaphragm plication is to improve dyspnea by correcting the dysfunctional movement of a diaphragm during inspiration. Minimally invasive thoracoscopic diaphragm plication has been widely used and has been reported to lead to significant improvements in dyspnea and postoperative pulmonary function. Advantages of thoracoscopic plication compared to open thoracotomy are less postoperative pain and shorter hospitalization, yet technical difficulties due to limited workspace afforded by the ribcage and the elevated hemidiaphragm have been a major drawback in using the thoracoscopic approach for this disorder. We describe our experience with robotic thoracoscopic plication for the treatment of diaphragmatic paralysis. This is, to our knowledge, the first report of this kind. 相似文献

The incidence and indications for conversion from endoluminal to open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms are changing. This paper is based on a 5-year experience in which endoluminal repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms was undertaken in 156 patients. Primary conversion at the original operation was required in 14 patients and secondary conversion at a subsequent operation was required in 9 patients. The reasons for primary conversion were access problems (n = 2), balloon related problems (n = 2), endograft migration (n = 4), endograft thrombosis (n = 1) and failed deployment of a bifurcated endograft (n = 5). Twelve of 14 primary conversions occurred in the first half of the study period, in which 59 endoluminal abdominal aortic aneurysms repairs were undertaken. Improvements in technology and interventional techniques for overcoming obstacles, as well as increasing experience, has resulted in primary conversion being limited to two patients in the most recent 2.5-year period in which 97 endoluminal repairs were undertaken. The reasons for secondary conversion were renal arteries covered by the endograft (n = 2), increasing abdominal aortic aneurysm diameter in the absence of endoleak (n = 1) and persistent endoleak (n = 6). The latter group comprised three patients with intact aneurysms and three with known endoleaks who presented with ruptured aneurysms. The current indications for primary conversion include: (i) rupture of the aorta; (ii) complete migration of the endograft resulting in obstruction of the iliac arteries; and (iii) irreversible twisting of a non-modular bifurcated endograft. The current indications for secondary conversion include: (i) persistent endoleak; (ii) sealed endoleak with continued abdominal aortic aneurysms expansion; (iii) apparently successful endoluminal repair without evidence of endoleak but continued abdominal aortic aneurysms expansion; and (iv) infected endograft. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of unilateral diaphragm plication for phrenic nerve paralysis on the respiratory mechanics and diaphragm function. Study 1: We performed thoracotomy (BASELINE), left phrenicotomy (INJURY) and left diaphragm plication (PLICATION) in ten dogs. After chest was closed in each condition, measured were the tidal volume (TV), respiratory rate (f), esophageal and gastric pressure swing (delta Pes, delta Pga), dynamic compliance (Cdyn) the ratio of gastric to esophageal pressure swing (delta Pga/delta Pes) and the work of breathing per liter (WOB/L) under stable spontaneous breathing. Study 2: In eight other left-phrenicotomized dogs, Pdi and fractional shortening of the costal diaphragm during contralateral electrophrenic stimulation were measured before and after plication. After plication TV, delta Pga/delta Pes, Cdyn, Pdi and fractional shortening during stimulation increased significantly, whereas Pes and WOB/L decreased significantly compared with INJURY condition. In conclusion unilateral diaphragm plication after paralysis improves the intact hemidiaphragm contractility and diaphragmatic contribution to breathing. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Hyperhidrosis can cause significant professional and social handicaps. Although treatments such as oral medication, botox, and iontophoresis are available, surgical sympathectomy is being increasingly utilized. METHODS: Between January 1997 and December 2002, 180 patients with palmar, axillary, facial, or plantar hyperhidrosis underwent a thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Surgical technique evolved during our study period and included excision of the sympathetic ganglia at T(2), T(3), or T(4) depending on the location of the sweating using monopolar cautery. RESULTS: Patient demographics included 33% males (59/180) and 67% females (121/180), with a mean age of 29.2 years old (range 12 to 76 years old). Ethnic origin was 67% white (122/180), 19% Asian (34/180), 8% Black (14/180), and 6% Hispanic (10/180). Positive family history of hyperhidrosis was noted in 57%. Preoperatively, 49% patients (86/180) had palmar sweating only, 7% patients (12/180) axillary only, 24% patients (43/180) palmar and axillary, 16% patients (28/180) face/scalp only, and 7% patients (11/180) all of the above; additionally 69% patients (125/180) had plantar hyperhidrosis. All procedures were performed through 3-mm and 5-mm ports, and 98% (177/180) were completed as an outpatient procedure. Complications included a mild temporary Horner's Syndrome (n = 1; 0.5%), air leak requiring chest drainage (n = 9; 5%), and bleeding (n = 3; 1.6%) requiring thoracoscopic reexploration (n = 1) and chest drainage (n = 2). Success rates were palmar 100% (109/109), axillary 98% (48/49), and face/scalp 93% (26/28). Plantar hyperhidrosis responded with improvement in 82% (72/88) of all patients. Seventy-eight percent patients (96/123) experienced compensatory hyperhidrosis, usually affecting the stomach, chest, back, and neck. Overall satisfaction was 94% (139/148). CONCLUSIONS: Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is a safe and effective outpatient method for managing hyperhidrosis. Although overall satisfaction is high, patients should be fully informed about the potential for compensatory sweating. 相似文献

A 71-year-old woman, in whom the herniation of right-sided diaphragm was diagnosed, was admitted to our hospital on ambulance car complaining of increasing right-sided chest pain and worsening of dyspnea. She was given emergency laparotomy. The transverse colon and omentum pushed the liver backward. The tight adhesion between transverse colon and diaphragm was released by using thoracotomy additionally. In pleural cavity, there was prolapsing transverse colon which was not covered with peritonium and was caused by the rupture of right-sided diaphragm. The necrotic transverse colon was resected about 30 cm length. We considered that the rupture was caused not by external injury but by inflammation after plication for diaphragm eventration three years and ten months before. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Emergency department thoracotomy (EDT) is a dramatic but rarely lifesaving intervention. Clinical variability regarding indications for EDT has yet to be quantified. Members of the Eastern and American Associations for the Surgery of Trauma were questioned by mail to evaluate which clinical and demographic factors influence the decision to perform EDT and whether physicians perform EDT in accordance with current practice guidelines. METHODS: A single mailing of an anonymous survey was sent to 1,124 surgeons to collect institutional and physician demographics as well as indications for EDT on the basis of variable mechanisms of trauma, duration of arrest, and signs of life (SOL). Statistical analysis included the Pearson and linear-by-linear association chi(2) tests, independent samples t test, and univariate and multivariate analyses of variance; p values of < 0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS: Completed surveys were received from 358 respondents. After 54 surveys were excluded that were incomplete, late, or from noneligible respondents, 304 surveys were analyzed. There were no significant differences in EDT indications among institutions of differing caseload volume, exposure to penetrating trauma, trauma level designation, American College of Surgeons verification status, or residency program affiliation. In addition, neither the respondent's position nor whether attendings versus residents performed the majority of EDTs influenced clinical decision-making. Performance criteria for EDT were liberal in comparison with established guidelines, especially for blunt trauma. The presence or recent loss of SOL influenced responses, but respondents varied greatly in their definition of SOL. CONCLUSION: A lack of agreement exists regarding the indications for EDT in multiple clinical scenarios as well as in defining SOL. Indications for EDT were liberal, especially for blunt trauma-related indications, and were determined by clinical parameters, not by physician or institutional factors. Our results suggest that clinical practice is at variance with Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines. We recommend that practice guidelines for EDT be established on the basis of a consensus definition of SOL to allow for a more uniform and selective approach to EDT. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Left thoracotomy is infrequently used for cardiac procedures, but its application in reoperative and minimally invasive coronary revascularization and in valvular procedures has been reported recently. METHODS: Three case reports and a review of the current literature illustrate the unique benefits of this approach for myocardial revascularization and valve replacement. RESULTS: Reoperative coronary revascularization of the left anterior descending and circumflex coronary arteries was performed off-pump via a left posterolateral thoracotomy. For the second case, this approach was used for coronary artery bypass grafting of the right coronary and left anterior descending arteries with femoral-femoral cardiopulmonary bypass in a patient with congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease who also required closure of a patent ductus arteriosus. In the third case, mitral valve replacement using femoral venous and aortic cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass was performed via a left thoracotomy to avoid a retrosternal gastric conduit in a patient with severe mitral stenosis and congestive heart failure. All patients returned to normal activity and are asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS: These case reports and a comprehensive review of the literature demonstrate the utility of left thoracotomy as an alternative approach to standard median sternotomy in selected cases of revascularization and valvular procedures. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To examine whether diaphragmatic plication is an effective and lasting treatment option for non-malignant diaphragmatic paralysis. METHODS: Nineteen patients who had undergone diaphragm plication (1983-1990) were recalled for interview, pulmonary function testing and chest X-ray. RESULTS: There were 13 men and six women aged 24-73 (mean 55). Diaphragm paralysis was idiopathic (n=9), postsurgical (n=3), related to cervical spondylosis (n=4) and neck injury (n=2). Patients presented with breathlessness (18/19) or orthopnoea (1/19). Symptoms had lasted 3-60 months (mean 24 months). All patients had a raised hemidiaphragm on chest X-ray with paradoxical movement on ultrasound. Mean preoperative FVC was 71% predicted (range 38-93, SD 12.9) and mean FEV(1) was 67% predicted (range 33-90, SD 10.8). Supine lung volumes were 81% (mean) of sitting values. There were six right plications and 13 left. There were no postoperative deaths. One patient required re-plication. Follow-up (18/19 of original operated patients) ranged from 7-14 years (mean 10 years). Three patients had died of unrelated causes and one patient failed to attend long term follow-up, leaving 15 patients of the original 19 operated on. Positional change in lung volumes was not affected by surgery at early (6 week) or late (>5 year) follow-up. FVC, FEV(1), FRC and TLC improved by 10.1*, 11.8*, 16.9* and 9.2*%, respectively, at early follow-up and 11.8*, 15.4*, 26 and 13.3*% at late follow-up (*P<0.005 signed rank). Dyspnoea scores at long term follow-up improved 1 point (n=5), 2 points (n=5) and 3 points (n=2), remained unchanged (n=1) or dropped 1 point (n=2). Of the 15 patients followed up all but one who had been employed returned to work. 14/15 patients expressed satisfaction with their surgery. CONCLUSION: Diaphragm plication is an effective procedure with lasting results. 相似文献

Laparoscopic colectomy: indications for conversion to laparotomy. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
S Pandya J J Murray J A Coller L C Rusin 《Archives of surgery (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)》1999,134(5):471-475
HYPOTHESIS: Although experience with laparoscopic colectomy continues to accumulate, criteria for patient selection for the procedure have yet to be developed. We propose that review of indications for conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic colectomy should define some of the current technical limitations of the procedure. This information may facilitate development of selection criteria for laparoscopic colon and rectal surgery. DESIGN: Single-institution retrospective medical records review. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Two hundred patients who underwent laparoscopic colon surgery, in 47 (23.5%) of whom the procedure was converted to laparotomy. INTERVENTIONS: A registry of 200 patients who have undergone laparoscopic colon surgery was analyzed. Medical records of 47 patients whose procedure was converted were reviewed to assess indications for conversion and identify factors contributing to the need for conversion. RESULTS: Between July 1, 1991, and September 30, 1998, 200 laparoscopic colon procedures were performed: 78 ascending colectomies, 74 descending or sigmoid colectomies, 14 diverting stomas, and 34 "other procedures." The 200 patients were divided into 4 cohorts of 50 consecutive patients to analyze changes with time. The conversion rate was statistically greater in the first quarter (18 patients [36.0%]) than in subsequent quarters (16.0%; P <.05). The rate of conversion to laparotomy for segmental resection of the ascending and descending colon (31/153 [20.3%]) has been equivalent and less than the conversion rate for other procedures (16/33 [48.5%]; P <.05). The distribution of patients by operative indication has been fairly constant. The indication for operation has not influenced the need for conversion. The indications for conversion were technical problems in 15 patients (hypercarbia, unclear anatomy, and stapler misfire), laparoscopic complications in 9 patients (bleeding, cystotomy, and enterotomy), and problems that exceeded the limits of laparoscopic dissection in 23 patients (phlegmon, adhesions, obesity, and adjacent organ involvement by cancer). CONCLUSIONS: Our conversion rate has decreased during our experience, and currently the need for conversion to laparotomy is most frequently caused by situations such as excessive tumor bulk, adhesions, and diverticular phlegmon that exceed the technical limitations of laparoscopic dissection. Colorectal reanastomosis following a Hartmann resection and procedures involving resection of the distal rectum are unlikely to be successfully completed. Although obesity accentuates the technical limitations of laparoscopic dissection, it is an infrequent cause for conversion to laparotomy. 相似文献
