Abstract

Background: Post-pneumonectomy empyema(PPE) is an uncommon but a serious complication. The management remains as challenge for general thoracic surgeons. Material and Method: During the period of January 1990 to December 1996, we evaluated the results of 20 patients with post-pneumonectomy empyema. Result: Sex ratio were 15 male and 5 female patients with mean age of 41.5${\pm}$21.5 yrs. The occurrence ratio of left to right side was 8:12. The most common disease for prior pneumonectomy was pulmonary tuberculosis. The duration between pneumonectomy and PPE was variable in 1 month to 6yrs. Fever was the most frequent symptom and S. aureus was the most frequent pathogen. In 13 cases, there were combined with BPF. Four patients underwent trans-sternal closure, and Clagett procedure was performed. There was one recurrence that later underwent muscle plombage and omentopexy later. Nine patients underwent omentopexy, muscle plombage and thoracoplasty. There were 7 cases that were not combined with BPF. All 7 patients underwent thoracoplasty, and two of them were combined with muscle plombage. Mean follow-up duration is 40${\pm}$32.3 months. There were no late deaths nor recurrences of PPE. Conclusion: We conclude that early diagnosis and proper drainage in PPE patients are important in its initial stage of management, and also management is completely achieved in thoracoplasty with muscle plombage or omentopexy.

배경: 전폐절제술후 발생한 농흉은 흔하지는 않지만 심각한 합병증을 유발할 수 있다. 그리고 치료는 아직 흉부외과 의사에게 문제로 남아있다. 대상과 방법: 1990년 1월부터 1996년 12월 까지 전폐절제술후 발생한 농흉환자 20례를 분석하였다. 결과: 성별비는 남자가 15명, 여자가 5명 이였으며, 평균 연령은 41.5$\pm$21.5세였다. 좌우비는 8:12였고, 선행질환으로는 폐결핵이 가장 많았다. 폐절제후 농흉이 발생하기 까지의 기간은 1개월에서 6년까지 다양하였다. 가장 흔한 증상은 발열이였고, 포도상구균이 가장 흔한 원인균이였다. 13례에서 기관지 늑막루를 동반하였으며 4명의 환자는 전경심막을 통하여 기관지 절주를 봉합한 후 Clagett 술식을 시행하였고, 그 중 한명은 재발하여 후에 대망과 근육을 이용하여 흉곽 성형술을 받았다. 나머지 9명의 환자에게는 대망과 근육을 이용한 흉곽 성형술을 실시하였다. 기관지 늑막루를 동반하지 않은 7례에서는 모두 흉곽성형술을 실시하였고 이중 2례에서는 근육 충진법을 같이 시행하였다. 평균 추적 기간은 40$\pm$32.3개월 이였다. 사망과 재발은 발생하지 않았다. 결론: 전폐절제술후 발생한 농흉 환자에 있어서 조기 진단과 적절한 배농이 일차적 처치로서 중요하며, 흉곽 성형술과 더불어 대망이나 근육 충진법으로 완전한 치료가 가능하다.
