Аннотация
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic sterilization to treat patients with exacerbation of chronic empyema thoracis.
DESIGN: Case reports and literature review.
SETTING: Academic department of surgery.
PATIENTS: Two elderly, debilitated patients with worsening, chronic empyema thoracis as diagnosed by radiographs, CT, and thoracentesis. Both patients had a history of therapeutic pneumothorax for tuberculosis without bronchopleural fistulas.
INTERVENTIONS: Video-assisted thoracoscopic sterilization of the thoracic cavity.
MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: There was no recurrence of empyema during a 6-year follow-up period for one patient and a 2.5-year follow-up period for the other patient.
CONCLUSIONS: Video-assisted thoracoscopic sterilization is a minimally invasive useful treatment for elderly or debilitated patients with exacerbation of chronic empyema thoracis.
