Abstract

Although posterolateral thoracotomy(PLT) has been a standard thoracic incision in resection surgery of the lung for surgeons to achieve a good surgical field, there remains concern about severing a group of thoracic muscles remains. Muscle-sparing vertical thoracotomy (MVT) is an alternative to PLT, which gives cosmetic result and may preserve motion of the shoulder girdle as well as respiratory function of the patient in the early postoperative period. However, surgeons tend not to perfer it because of limited surgical field from the vertical wound made on the lateral thoracic wall. The purpose of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of PLT versus MVT. We retrospectively reviewed 29 patients(15 who had PLT and 14 who had MVT, organized into those two groups) who had undergone lung resection surgery in our institute. There were no clinical differences between the two groups in terms of operation time, estimated amount of blood loss during the operation, amount of chest drainage on the first and the second postoperative day, duration of chest tube placement, incidence and amount of transfusion, and postoperative complications. We conclude that, from our limited experience, MVT can be applied to lung resection surgery as safely as PLT and that it may have a beneficial role for the patient with compromised lung function in addition to cosmetic effect.

후측개흉술은 흉근을 절단하는 단점은 있으나 훌륭한 수술시야를 제공하므로 표준개흉술로 이용되고 있다. 이에 반하여 근육보존수직개흉술은 흉근이 보존되며 팔을 내리면 액와부 수술 상흔이 감추어지는 미용상의 장점이 있다. 그러나 수직개흉술은 흉부의 정측면에 절개선이 이루어지므로 측와위에서 수직으로 수술시야를 내려다보게 되어 흉강내의 구조물, 특히 폐문부나 첨부 및 하부의 길이가 멀어져 수술조작이 불편하다. 본 인하대병원 흉부외과에서는 수술조작에 관련된 차이를 알아보고자 후측개흉술(15례)과 수직개흉술(14례)을 이용해 폐쐐기절제술 이상의 수술을 실시한 29례에서 수술과 관련된 임상지표들을 비교관찰한 결과, 수술시간, 수술 1일과 2일의 흉관 배액량, 흉관 거치기간, 수혈 수와 수혈량, 수술 중 실혈량, 수술 후 합병증 등에서 양군간에 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때 근육보존수직개흉술도 후측개흉술과 마찬가지로 폐절제술시 안전하게 사용될 수 있다고 본다.
