ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
It is important to know the location, number, size and shape of bullae before thoracotomy or VATS bullectomy. Chest X-ray and chest CT may be used but with some limitation. The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of thoracography with that of chest X-ray in preoperative detection of bullae. Meterial andMethod:
Thoracography was performed by injection of non-ionic water-soluble dye into pleural space in 22 primary spontaneous pneumothoraces, which underwent thoracotomy or VATS bullectomy. Chest X-ray and thoracography were compared through operative finding.RESULTS:
Sensitivity and accuracy of thoracography (75% and 72.7%) were higher than those of chest X-ray (30% and 36.4%). However, specificity of thoracography (50%) was lower than that of chest X-ray (100%). There were no complications during or after thoracography.CONCLUSION:
Thoracography is a safer and more useful method for preoperative detection of bullae when compared with chest X-ray.
