ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Carbon dioxide pneumothorax is a rare complication in laparoscopic urology, but with the widespread use of laparoscopy and the increasing surgical pathologies managed by this technique this infrequent complication has become a potential risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 786 laparoscopic transperitoneal urologic operations were reviewed at our institution. All procedures were performed by the same surgeon and included 213 adrenalectomies, 181 simple nephrectomies, 143 lymphadenectomies, 118 radical nephrectomies, 107 partial nephrectomies and 24 nephroureterectomies. Mean patient age was 53.2 years (range 24 to 70). Mean BMI was 28.15 Kg/m2 (range 20 to 48.9). RESULTS: A total of 6 cases (0.7 percent) of diaphragmatic injury were found. All reported patients had additional factors that may have contributed to diaphragmatic injury. Diaphragmatic repair was always carried out by intracorporeal suturing and only one case required chest tube placement. All patients evolved uneventfully. CONCLUSIONS: Repair of diaphragmatic injuries should always be attempted with intracorporeal suture since this is a feasible, reproducible and reliable technique.

ABSTRACT

En los últimos 30 años, la ventilación mecánica ha sido un instrumento indispensable en el manejo de la insuficiencia respiratoria. No obstante, la ventilación mecánica per se también puede iniciar o exacerbar una lesión pulmonar, contribuyendo a la morbimortalidad del paciente. Esta revisión trata de examinar los mecanismos por los cuales se puede producir lesión inducida por la ventilación mecánica incluyendo aquellos que afectan la pared alveolar así como los más recientemente descritos que involucran mediadores celulares que pueden provocar lesión pulmonar.

ABSTRACT

La parálisis diafragmática traumática secundaria al drenaje pleural para la evacuación de un neumotórax hipertensivo es una rara complicación pero que debe ser tenida en cuenta ya que agrava la insuficiencia respiratoria del paciente, prolonga el tiempo de asistencia respiratoria e incrementa los riesgos relacionados a internaciones prolongadas. Es importante la comprobación de la ubicación del catéter en la radiografía post drenaje y la inmediata corrección de la misma en caso que ésta sea inadecuada. Si se comprueba paresia/parálisis diafragmática debe colocarse al paciente en Trendelenburg invertido. De persistir la parálisis la consulta quirúrgica determinará la oportunidad y beneficio de la plicatura.
