Abstract

Background: Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) became common in the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP). Therefor we've reviewed the recurrence rate after VATS and analysed the factors affecting recurrent pneumothorax after VATS on this study. Material and Method: This retrospective analysis was performed on 321 patients of SP who had undergone VATS from Jan. 2001 to Dec. 2008. The two groups were divided as follow: group A, non-recurrent group (298 patients: 93%); and group B, recurrent group (26 patients: 7%); the two groups were analysed retrospectively. Result: The average age of the study groups were $20.9{\pm}4.3$ years old in recurrent group vs. $25.9{\pm}11.7$ years old in non-recurrent group with statistical significance (p < 0.05). There were no statistical significance in male to female ratio, height/weight ratio, location of pneumothorax, smoking history, operative time, duration of drain, hospital stay, indication of opertion and incidence rate. Average length of duration in recurrence was 12.9 months. There was 22 (95.7%) recurrent patients after VATS within 4 year period among recurrent group. Treatment methods in 23 of recurrent patients were, 8 (VATS), 2 (Axillary thoracotomy) with 15% or more in amount of pneumothorax and 7 (7 Fr. chest tube), 6 (nasal 02) with 15% or less in amount of pneumothorax. Among 10 cases of reoperation, there were 3 cases of over looking type and 7 cases of new growing type. There was no additional recurrence after these procedures were given. Conclusion: There was higher recurrence rate in younger age after VATS thus for those under 20 yrs old, detailed and possible preoperative warning for recurrence is warranted. Most recurrence occured within 4 year period, thus for this reason, regular interval based follow up with chest x-ray study is suggested during this period.

배경: 비디오흉강경수술은 자연기흉에 대한 적절한 치료법으로 보편화 되어있다. 이에 본 연구에서 비디오흉강경수술에 따른 재발율을 조사하고, 재발에 관여되는 인자를 알아 보고자 재발예의 특성을 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 1월부터 2008년 12월까지 비디오흉강경수술로 치료한 자연기흉 환자 321명을 대상으로 하였다. 추적관찰 중 재발이 없었던 환자를 A군(298명: 93%), 재발이 있었던 환자를 B군(23명: 7%)으로 나누어 후향적으로 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 각군의 평균나이는 재발된 군에서는 $20.9{\pm}4.3$세로 재발되지 않은군의 $25.9{\pm}11.7$세 보다 더 어렸으며 통계학적으로 의의가 있었다(p<0.05). 남녀비, 신장/몸무게비, 병변의 부위, 흡연력, 수술시간, 흉관 거치 기간, 입원기간, 수술적응증 및 기흉의 발생 횟수 등의 인자에 대한 재발율의 차이는 양군 간 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 수술후 재발한 환자는 평균 12.9개윌만에 재발하였다. 4년내에 재발한 환자는 22명으로 95.7%였다. 재발한 23명 환자의 치료는 기흉양이 15% 이상인 10명에서 8명은 비디오흉강경하 폐쐐기절제술, 2명은 액와절개술하 폐쐐기절제술을 시행하였다. 재수술을 시행한 10명 환자의 재수술소견은 Over-looking type이 3예, New growing type이 7예였다. 기흉양이 15% 미만인 13명에서 7명은 7 Fr. 흉관삽입을 시행하고, 6병은 비강을 통한 산소요법을 시행하면서 경과관찰만 하였다. 이후에 추적관찰상 다시 재발한 환자는 없었다. 결론: 자연기흉 수술후에 나이가 어릴수록 재발율이 높았으므로 환자의 나이가 20세 미만으로 어린 경우에는 환자 및 보호자에게 수술후 재발 가능성에 대한 충분한 설명이 필요하다. 또한 수술후 정기적으로 약 4년까지는 흉부엑스선검사를 통한 경과관찰을 하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다.
