双侧开胸治疗左主支气管病变侵及隆突病例分析

目的 总结双侧开胸治疗左主支气管病变侵及隆突的治疗体会.方法 回顾分析中国医学科学院肿瘤医院1999年至2008年间4例双侧开胸治疗左主支气管病变侵及隆突的资料.结果 4例病人中男2例、女2例,中位年龄37.5岁(27～55岁).4例均采用双侧后外侧开胸切口,均行隆突切除成形术,其中3例行左侧全肺隆突切除,1例行气管隆突肿物切除.术后病理检查显示1例为结核,1例为鳞状细胞癌,另外2例为腺样囊性癌.3例术后呼吸机辅助通气,通气时间3～21d.手术死亡1例,死亡原因为吻合口裂开.结论 对于相对年轻、心肺功能较好的左主支气管病变侵及隆突的患者,双侧后外侧开胸也是一种可以选择的方法.术中根据组织病理学类型和左主支气管侵犯的长度决定手术方式.

Surgical treatment of bilateral thoracotomy in patients with lesions of left main bronchus invading carina

Objective To investigate the outcome for surgical treatment of bilateral thoracotomy in patients with lesions of left main bronchus invading carina by bilateral thoracotomy. Methods The clinical data of 4 patients with lesions of left main bronchus invading carina undergoing bilateral thoracotomy were retrospectively reviewed. Results There were two male and two female patients with a median age of 37. S (range:27-55) years old. Four patients were all accessed by bilateral thoracotomy, and received carinal reconstruction. Of these 4 patients, three patients received left pneumonectomy and one patient received carinal resection without concomitant pulmonary resection. Pathological results showed that one patient had tuberculosis. And other three patients were of 1 squamous cell carcinoma and 2 adenoid cystic carcinomas. Three patients received mechanical ventilation for a period of 3-21 days, one patient died of anastomotic dehiscence at 5 days postoperatively. Conclusion Bilateral thoracotomy is an alternative approach for relatively young patients with decent cardiopulmonary functions with lesions of left main bronchus invading carina. Operation type should be based on histopathological type and length of involved left main bronchus.
