Abstract

Thoracoscopic bullectomy (VATS-B) is now the preferred treatment for spontaneous pneumothorax despite of higher recurrence rate than open thoracotomy. Several methods have been used to prevent this problem. The effectiveness of staple line reinforcement (SLR) in VATA-B using endostaplers was assessed by clinical and experimental study. Meterial and Method: In experimental study, canine lungs were harvested immediately (group I N=5) and 48 hours (group II N=5) after stapling. The pressures at which initial air leaks occurred were measured. In clinical study from February 1997 to March 1999, 106 procedures in 104 patients undergoing VATS-B for spontaneous pneumothorax were classified into two groups according to the presence of SLR and were compared. Result: The average pressure of the initial air leakage was significantly higher in SLR than that of staples alone (18$\pm$1.6 vs 48$\pm$3 mm Hg in group I; 23.8$\pm$1.9 vs 54$\pm$4.6 mm Hg in group II, p<0.001). In the clinical data, there were significant differences seen in the duration of drainage, the total length of endostaplers used, and the duration of the postoperative hospital stay between patients with staple alone and patients with SLR (4.4$\pm$1.4 vs 3.1$\pm$1.1 days in duration of drainage, 92.3$\pm$28.1 vs 71.1$\pm$30.6 mm in total length of endostaplers used, 5.9$\pm$1.9 vs 4.6$\pm$1.7 days in postoperative hospital stays, p<0.001). Conclusion: SLR was effective for preventing prolonged air leakage and responsible for shorter hospital stays after VATS-B for the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax.

흉강경을 이용한 자연기흉 수술은 개흉술에 비하여 재발률이 높지만 많은 외과의에게 선호되고 있다. 또한 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위한 여러 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 저자들은 흉강경수술 시 자동 봉합기의 봉합선 보강효과를 알아보기 위하여 동물실험과 임상연구를 계획하였다. 대상 및 방법: 동물실험에서는 실험견을 이용하여 바로 도살한 후 자동 봉합기를 적용한 폐(제1군, N=5)와 자동 봉합기를 사용하여 48시간 경과한 후 도살한 폐(제2군, N=5)의 절제면에서 최초 공기 누출압을 측정하였다. 또한 각각 제1군과 2군에서 봉합선을 보강재료로 보강여부에 따른 절제면의 공기 누출압을 비교하였다. 임상연구에서는 자연기흉 흉강경수술을 받은 104명(106건)을 대상으로 봉합선 보강 여부에 따라 임상 성적을 비교하였다. 결과: 동물실험에서는 자동 봉합기의 봉합선을 보강한 군에서 의의 있게 평균 공기 누출압이 높았고(제1군: 비보강군; 18$\pm$1.6, 보강군; 483, 제2군: 비보강군; 23.8$\pm$1.9, 보강군; 54$\pm$4.6 mmHg, p<0.001), 임상연구에서는 봉합선 보강군에서 술 후 흉관 유치기간, 술 후 재원기간, 사용한 총 자동 봉합기 길이 등에서 유의한 차이를 보였다(흉관 유치기간: 비보강군; 4.4$\pm$1.4, 보강군; 3.1$\pm$1.1일, 사용한 자동 봉합기의 총길이: 비보강군; 92.3$\pm$28.1, 보강군: 71.1$\pm$30.6 mm, 술 후 재원기간: 비보강군; 5.9$\pm$1.9, 보강군; 4.6$\pm$l7일, p<0.001). 결론: 자연기흉 흉강경 수술에서 자동 봉합기의 봉합선 보강으로 술 후 장기간 공기누출의 예방이 가능하였고, 따라서 술 후 병원재원 기간의 단축이 가능하였다.
