ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of a new surgical procudure for intractable pnumothorax.Methods Subaxillary mini-incision and folding ligation of bullae of lung were conducted without suture if possible.Parietal pleura was rubbed with a dry gauze roll and irrigated with hydrogen peroxide solution.The corresponding pulmonary segments were suspended on the parietal pleura to keep the lung tissues in inflation state and to avoid over compression of the lungs.Pleural cavity was irrigated with 5-10 ml lidocaine for 3 days after the surgery.Results The operation was successfully conducted in 21 cases(including 1 case of bilateral surgery).The average operation time was 45 min(range30-60 min);and the average blood loss was 70 ml(range50-100 ml).No complications occurred.The follow-up time was 6-72 months,25 months in average,and no recurrence of pneumothorax occurred.Conclusions This therapeutic method combining subaxillary mini-incision,suspension of pulmonary lobe,folding ligation and general adhesion is effective,minimally invasive,safe and inexpensive for treating intractable pnumothorax.
