ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: With the introduction of minimally invasive cardiac surgery, more commonly cases of lung herniation are starting to appear. Acquired lung hernias are classified as postoperative, traumatic, pathologic, and spontaneous. Up to 83% of lung hernias are intercostal. Herein, we describe patients presenting with intercostal lung hernias following minimally invasive cardiac surgery at a single center in Medellín, Colombia. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective search of all patients presenting with intercostal lung hernias secondary to minimally invasive cardiac surgery at our clinic in Medellín since the beginning of our program, from 2010 to 2022. Mini-sternotomies were excluded from our study. We reviewed the incision type and other possible factors leading to intercostal lung hernia development. We also describe the approach taken for these patients. RESULTS: From 2010 up until 2022, 803 adult patients underwent minimally invasive cardiac surgeries through a mini-thoracotomy. At the time of data retrieval, nine patients presented with intercostal lung hernias at the previous incision site. Five hernias (55%) were from right 2nd intercostal parasternal mini-thoracotomies for aortic valve surgeries. Four hernias (45%) were from right 4th intercostal lateral mini-thoracotomies for mitral valve surgeries. Our preferred repair technique is a video-assisted thoracoscopic mesh approach. CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive cardiac surgical approaches are becoming more routine. Proper wound closure is critical in preventing lung hernias. Additionally, timely diagnosis and opportune hernia surgery using video-assisted thoracoscopic mesh repair can prevent further complications.

ABSTRACT

La medicina es una ciencia en continuo desarrollo. El creciente interés en minimizar la agresión y el traumatismo durante los procedimientos quirúrgicos, hace que aparezcan los abordajes mínimamente invasivos, y la cirugía cardiaca no es la excepción a esta tendencia. Históricamente ésta se ha realizado a través de esternotomía media y con el apoyo de circulación extracorpórea. Con el advenimiento de la cirugía mínimamente invasiva, los pacientes ahora solicitan procedimientos menos invasivos, con seguridad, eficacia y durabilidad equivalentes a las de los procedimientos tradicionales. Por todo esto, las nuevas técnicas quirúrgicas deben conducir a realizar incisiones menos agresivas, a que haya menor pérdida de sangre, así como menor estancia hospitalaria, y al menos a que tengan el mismo costo que los procedimientos tradicionales. Aunque no existe un consenso oficial, al hablar de cirugía cardiaca mínimamente invasiva (MICS, su sigla en inglés) se hace referencia a un amplio concepto, que abarca tanto una exposición quirúrgica menos invasiva, como a evitar el uso de bypass cardiopulmonar. De acuerdo con la Sociedad de Cirujanos de Tórax (STS), este término se define como aquellas cirugías que se hacen a través de abordajes que no se realizan por la tradicional esternotomía media completa, como fue descrito en 1957 por Julián, y que cuentan con el apoyo de circulación extracorpórea .
