ABSTRACT

Between June 1992 and July 1993, 47 patients (13 female, 34 male) with diagnosis of Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodule (IPN) were operated on by VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery). In all cases, the histopathologic diagnosis was obtained. In 19 patients we found solitary benign nodules, in 20 solitary malignant nodules, and in 8 multiple malignant nodules. An utility minithoracotomy (conversion) was necessary in 3/19 (15.7 percent) of the benign nodules due to difficulties in its localization, and in all (n=20) the malignant nodules in order to accomplish a complete resection, and in none of the multiple nodules (n=8). Six patients presented minor complications (morbidity = 10.6 percent) and one postoperative death was registered (mortality = 2.1 percent). We concluded that resection of the IPN by VATS is an oligotraumatic diagnostic procedure with a sensitivity and specificity of 100 percent, and with low mordibity and acceptable mortality, however it requires careful indication in patients with a high operative risk.

ABSTRACT

Se analiza la experiencia de 60 pacientes con tratamiento quirúrgico del cáncer de pulmón Estadío III-a. Se compararon dos grupos entre sí: Grupo I (T3 NO-1) y Grupo II (T3 N2) y se obtuvo una supervivencia actuarial a los 5 años del 34 por ciento y 23 por ciento respectivamente y una supervivencia para toda la población de 29 por ciento. Se analizaron distintos factores pronóstico: Tipo histológico, tamaño tumoral, tipo, número y localización de las adenopatías, etc. Se concluye que dentro del mismo Estadío III-a confluyen factores favorables y desfavorables y que el análisis de dichos factores permitirá seleccionar la mejor terapéutica, obteniendo índices de supervivencia satisfactorios con el tratamiento quirúrgico

ABSTRACT

Se presenta una experiencia inicial con el uso de cirgugía torácica video-asistida en 23 casos (22 pacientes): 1 simpaticectomía torácica, 6 empiemectomías, 2 bullectomías,2 hemotórax, 2 cámaras neumotorácicas, 1 ventana pleuropericárdica, 4 resecciones de nódulos pulmonares, 2 biopsias de pulmón y pleura, 1 nódulo pleural múltiple, y 2 derrames pleurales malignos. No hubo mortalidad operatoria ni accidentes quirúrgicos. Se complicaron 3 pacientes (una serorragia prolongada de 7 días, una hemorragia postoperatoria y un caso con dolor neurítico post-simpacticetomía torácica). Se analizan sus indicaciones y contraindicaciones. Se concluye que esta técnica ocupará un lugar muy importante en el armamentarium del cirujano torácico
