ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: To show the efficacy of placing a spiral harpoon in pulmonary nodules under the control of computerised tomography for their subsequent resection by minimally invasive surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen nodules of between 0.5-1.5 cm were localised in fifteen patients, of whom ten had antecedents of neoplasia, with the placement of spiral harpoon model Somatex, of 120 mm length and 18 G of Laboratorios Léleman, S.L., by means of computerised tomography, resecting them by minimally invasive surgery. RESULTS: Following the resection of the nodule it was confirmed that in the fifteen cases the harpoon was next to the nodule or encompassing it -- just as it had been placed on the scanner, in two cases objectifying a small intraparenchymatose haemorrhage and in one case a small pneumothorax. The time taken to place the harpoon oscillated between fifteen and thirty minutes. CONCLUSION: Marking a pulmonary nodule with a spiral type harpoon is a simple method that makes it possible to securely anchor the nodule for its subsequent resection by minimally invasive surgery.

ABSTRACT

Fundamento. Mostrar la eficacia que supone colocar un arpón espiral en nódulos pulmonares bajo control de tomografía computarizada para su posterior resección por cirugía mínimamente invasiva. Material y métodos. Se localizaron quince nódulos de 0,5-1,5 cm en quince pacientes de los cuales diez tenían antecedentes de neoplasia, con la colocación de arpón espiral modelo Somatex, de 120 mm de longitud y 18 G de Laboratorios Léleman, S.L., a través de tomografía computarizada, resecándose por cirugía mínimamente invasiva. Resultados. Tras la resección del nódulo se comprobó que en los quince casos el arpón estaba junto al nódulo o englobando al mismo -tal como se había colocado en el escáner-, objetivándose en dos casos una pequeña hemorragia intraparenquimatosa y en uno de ellos un pequeño neumotórax. El tiempo de la colocación del arpón osciló entre quince y treinta minutos. Conclusión. Marcar un nódulo pulmonar con arpón tipo espiral es un método sencillo que permite anclar con seguridad el nódulo para su posterior resección por cirugía mínimamente invasiva (AU)

ABSTRACT

Respiratory emergencies in a patient with cancer can have their origin in pathologies of the airway, of the pulmonary parenchyma or the large vessels. The cause can be the tumour itself or concomitant complications. Obstruction of the airway should be initially evaluated with endoscopic procedures. Surgery is rarely possible in serious situations. The endobronchial placement of stents or radioactive isotopes (brachytherapy), tumoural ablation by laser or photodynamic therapy can quickly alleviate the symptoms and re-establish the air flow. Treatment of haemoptysis depends on the cause that is provoking it and on its quantity. Bronchoscopy continues to be the front line procedure in the majority of cases; it provides diagnostic information and can interrupt bleeding through washes with ice-cold serum, endobronchial plugging or topical injections of adrenaline or thrombin. External radiotherapy continues to be an extraordinarily useful procedure in treating haemoptysis caused by tumours and in carefully selected situations of endobronchial therapy with laser or brachytherapy, and bronchial arterial embolisation can provide a great palliative effect. Respiratory emergencies due to pulmonary parenchyma disease in the oncology patient can have a tumoural, iatrogenic or infectious cause. Early recognition of each of these will determine the administration of a specific treatment and the possibilities of success.

ABSTRACT

Las urgencias respiratorias en un paciente con cáncer pueden tener su origen en patologías de la vía aérea, del parénquima pulmonar o de los grandes vasos. La causa puede ser el propio tumor o complicaciones concomitantes. La obstrucción de la vía aérea debería ser inicialmente evaluada con procedimientos endoscópicos. En situaciones severas, la cirugía raramente es posible. El emplazamiento endobronquial de stents e isótopos radiactivos (braquiterapia), la ablación tumoral por láser o la terapia fotodinámica, pueden aliviar de forma rápida los síntomas y reestablecer el flujo aéreo. El manejo de la hemoptisis depende de la causa que la provoque y de la cuantía de la misma. La broncoscopia sigue siendo el procedimiento de primera línea en la mayor parte de los casos; aporta información diagnóstica y puede interrumpir el sangrado mediante lavados con suero helado, taponamiento endobronquial o inyecciones tópicas de adrenalina o trombina. La radioterapia externa sigue siendo un procedimiento extraordinariamente útil para tratar la hemoptisis de causa tumoral y en situaciones bien seleccionadas la terapia endobronquial con láser o braquiterapia y la embolización arterial bronquial pueden proporcionar un gran rendimiento paliativo. Las urgencias respiratorias por enfermedad del parénquima pulmonar en un paciente oncológico, pueden tener causa tumoral, iatrogénica o infecciosa. El reconocimiento precoz de cada una de ellas determina la administración del tratamiento específico y las posibilidades de éxito (AU)

ABSTRACT

El neumotórax espontáneo es una afección frecuente; el tipo primario incide preferentemente en varones en la tercera década de la vida, mientras el secundario afecta a pacientes ancianos con enfermedad pulmonar de base. Revisados los casos de neumotórax registrados por la Unidad de Cirugía Torácica del Hospital de Navarra, encontramos una incidencia similar a la de otros países de nuestro entorno, y una distribución bifásica de la enfermedad con los picos de incidencia mencionados en la juventud y ancianidad; la afección es más frecuente en varones, fumadores, y en los meses invernales. Se intentan relatar los mecanismos fisiológicos responsables de la formación de bullas en la pubertad. El primer paso del tratamiento es el drenaje pleural, con el que se intenta conseguir la reexpansión pulmonar y el restablecimiento de la integridad de la pleura visceral. Aunque existen controversias en cuanto al tratamiento definitivo, nosotros realizamos la resección quirúrgica de las bullas pulmonares en casos recidivantes o con TAC que indique un alto riesgo de recidiva, o resección del vértice pulmonar tras un segundo episodio a pesar de que no existan lesiones en el TAC. No realizamos pleurodesis, excepto en pacientes ancianos no susceptibles de cirugía. Nuestros resultados son similares a los obtenidos por otros grupos en cuanto a recidivas, baja morbilidad y mortalidad nula en el neumotórax espontáneo primario. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Spontaneous pneumothorax is a frequent affliction. The primary type principally affects males in the third decade of life, while the secondary type affects elderly patients with lung disease. When reviewing the cases of pneumothorax registered by the Thoracic Surgery Unit of the Hospital of Navarra, we found an incidence similar to other countries in our geographic area, and a biphasic distribution of the disease with the incidence peaks in youth and old age that we have mentioned. The disease is more frequent in males, smokers, and during the winter months. An account is given of the physiological mechanisms responsible for the formation of bullas in puberty. The first step in treatment is pleural drainage, the aim of which is to achieve pulmonary re-expansion and the re-establishment of the integrity of the visceral pleura. Although there are controversies regarding the definitive treatment, we carry out surgical resection of the pulmonary bullas in cases of relapse or when the CAT indicates a high risk of relapse, or resection of the pulmonary vertex following a second episode in spite of the non-existence of lesions in the CAT. We do not carry out pleurodesis, except in elderly patients who are not susceptible to surgery. Our results are similar to those obtained by other groups with respect to relapses, low morbidity and nil mortality in primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
