Abstract
When compare with blebectomy or bullaectomy simply and pleurodesis together in treatment of primary spontaneous pnevmthorax, the later has been realized as the method that can reduce the recurrent rate after surgical operation. Therefore, in this study, we compared the merits and demerits of the clinical result of chemical pleurodesis that use Talcum powder in pleurodesis and mechanical pleurodesis that use apical pleurectomy and analyzed the reappearance rate etc. Material and Method: The Pleurodesis through the apical pleurectomy and talc powder insufflation had been used as secondary procedure after blebectomy of spontaneous pneumothorax from January 1, 2000 to June 30, 2002. This study consisted of a retrospective review of 68 patients who were treated with apical pleurectomy, and 84 patients treated with talc powder insufflation. We compaired the apical pleurectomy and talc powder insufflation in terms of age, sex, cause of operation, number of used autosuture staple, tine duration of procedure after blebectomy, severity of pain and complication after operation, postoperative air leakage period, duration of chest tube insertion, hospitalization, and recurrence rate of pneumothorax. Result: Time required for secondary procedure was longer in apical pleurectomy than talc powder insufflation. Postoperative pain was more severe in talc powder insufflation than apical pleurectomy. Otherwise there was no significant difference between two methods. Conclusion: Although Talc powder insufflation is more convenient than apical pleurectomy, the difference is not large and, the severity of postoperative pain is worse in talc powder insufflation. Therefore apical pleurectomy can be recommended for the secondary surgical procedure after blebectomy of primary spontaneous pneumothorax can be recommended.
