Abstract

Muscle sparing thoracotomy is known as alternative of posterolateral thoracotomy because of less postoperative pain, preservation of muscle power and better cosmetic outcome. Curved axillary thoracotomy(CAT) is a type of muscle sparing thoracotomy. Between July 2003 and August 2004, 5 patients diagnosed as pure patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) treated by CAT and we reviewed results retrospectively by clinical record. The operative procedures were ligation of ductus in 4 cases and division of ductus in 1 case. There were no postoperative complication. Curved axillary thoracotomy is considerable alternative for surgical treatment of PDA with merits of muscle sparing effect and cosmetic benefit.

근육보존 개흉술은 경감된 술 후 통증, 근력의 보존 및 미용상 이점 때문에 후측방 개흉술의 대안으로 알려져 있으며, 굽은액와 개흉술은 근육보존 개흉술의 일종이다. 2003년 7월부터 2004년 8월 사이에 국립의료원 흉부외과에서 굽은액와 개흉술을 시행 받은 동맥관개존증 환자 5명을 대상으로 하였으며, 결과들을 임상기록을 통하여 후향적으로 분석하였다. 시행한 수술은 동맥관 결찰술 4예, 동맥관 분리술 1예였고, 술 후 합병증은 없었다. 굽은액와 개흉술은 근육보존 및 미용 효과의 장점을 가지면서 동맥관개존증 수술에서 응용될 수 있는 개흉 방법이라고 생각된다.
