  • Background: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive pleural malignancy, and despite all multimodal treatment modalities, the 5-year overall survival rate of patients with MPM is less than 20%. In the present study, we aimed to analyze the surgical and prognostic outcomes of patients with MPM who received multimodal treatment. Methods: In this retrospective, single-center study, the records of patients who underwent surgery for MPM between January 2010 and December 2020 at our department were reviewed retrospectively. Results: Sixty-four patients were included in the study, of whom 23 (35.9%) were women and 41 (64.1%) were men. Extrapleural pneumonectomy, pleurectomy/decortication, and extended pleurectomy/decortication procedures were performed in 34.4%, 45.3%, and 20.3% of patients, respectively. The median survival of patients was 21 months, and the 5-year survival rate was 20.2%. Advanced tumor stage (hazard ratio [HR], 1.8; p=0.04), right-sided extrapleural pneumonectomy (HR, 3.1; p=0.02), lymph node metastasis (HR, 1.8; p=0.04), and incomplete multimodal therapy (HR, 1.9; p=0.03) were poor prognostic factors. There was no significant survival difference according to surgical type or histopathological subtype. Conclusion: Multimodal therapy can offer an acceptable survival rate in patients with MPM. Despite its poor reputation in the literature, the survival rate after extrapleural pneumonectomy, especially left-sided, was not as poor as might be expected.

  • The purpose of this study is to predict postoperative lung function by perfusion lung scanning method. 40 patients who underwent lobectomy or pneumonectomy between 1983-1985 were analyzed. Mean preoperative FEV1 was 2.36 L in lobectomy cases and 1.73 L in pneumonectomy cases. Preoperative and postoperative lung function were measured by routine spirometry in sitting position. Perfusion lung scanning was performed by 99mTc-MAA radioisotope. Postoperative FEV1 and VC were predicted by the formula; Postoperative FEV1 [VC]=Preoperative FEV1 [VC] x percent function of regions of lung not to be resected. In this study, I concluded that perfusion lung scanning is a simple and useful method to predict postoperative ventilatory function after pneumonectomy of lobectomy.

  • Determination of preoperatibe pulmonary function is crucial in avoiding complications from pulmonary resection, especially pneumonectomy. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were correlated with the preoperative results of five widely used tests of pulmonary function in 40 patients who underwent pneumonectomy for bronchiectasis, pulmonary tuberculosis, and carcinoma of the lung. Factors analyzed following operation included 30-day mortality, the incidence of arrhythmia, the frepuency of respiratory complications, and the number of individuals requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. There were statistically significant differences[p<0.001]in mean values among FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC and MVV. But the difference of the FEF25-75% was not statistically significant.

  • A 3-year old female who underwent modified Fontan operation for the double outlet right ventricle with hypoplastic left ventricle at the age of 15 month was admitted with hemoptysis, which was developed 4 days prior to visit. Cardiac catheterization revealed that multiple collaterals from descending thoracic aorta supplied the right lung and drained to the right pulmonary artery. Chest magnetic resonance imaging [MRI showed that the right lung was consolidated by the secondary long-term pulmonary congestion. We decided to perform pneumonectomy because the consolidated right lung and the back-flow from the right pulmonary aretry would worsen the present hemodynamic state of patient. Post-operative course was uneventful, and she could be discharged with good general conditions.

  • Surgical resection of lung cancer or other disease is recently required in patients with severely impaired lung function resulting from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or disease extension. So prediction of pulmonary function after lung resection is very important in thoracic surgeon. We studied the accuracy of the prediction of postoperative pulmonary function using perfusion lung scan with 99m technetium macroaggregated albumin in 22 patients who received the pneumonectomy. The linear regression line derived from correlation between predicting[X and postoperative measured[Y values of FEV1 and FVC in patients are as follows: 1 Y[ml =0.713X + 381 in FEV1 [r=0.719 ,[P<0.01 2 Y[ml =0.645X + 556 in FVC [r=0.675 ,[P<0.01 In conclusion,the perfusion lung scan is noninvasive and very accurate for predicting postpneumonectomy pulmonary function.

  • The bronchopleural fistula[BPF] due to bronchial stump disruption after pneumonec-tomy has remained one of the most dreadful complications to now. The management of the BPF with empyema thoracis are still therapeutic dilemma even though a various surgical methods for the control of BPF with or without empyema thoracis. We have experienced the successful treatment of BPF & empyema thoracis with transsternal transpericardial approach. The patient was a 54 years old male who was taken left pneumonectomy at W. Medical Center at sept, 19th. 1991. He was suffered from the BPF R empyema thoracis and so was transferred to our hospital at Nov. 19th. 1991. We treated the patient with transsternal transpericardial bronchial closure for BPF, and put clagett procedure for empyema thoracis in 2 weeks. We think this kind of surgical techniques is one of the relatively simple and effective method for the control of BPF and empyema thoracis.

  • Postpneumonectomy syndrome (PPS) is a rare late complication of pneumonectomy. It occurs more often in children than in adults, and is characterized by respiratory failure resulting from bronchial compression caused by severe mediastinal shift. Various methods have been used to treat PPS, including aortopexy and the insertion of plastic balls, silastic implants, and saline-filled breast prostheses. We describe two cases of PPS corrected with tissue expanders after right pneumonectomy in patients with esophageal atresia.

  • Staple closure of bronchial stump was compared with manual suture closure among 100 cases of pneumonectomy during the recent 5-year period, We have reviewed the incidence of bronchpleural fistula between autosutured group and manual sutured group. Material and Method: During the recent 5-year period, 100 patients underwent pneumonectomy at Hanyang University Hospital. Staple closure of bronchial stump was performed in 65 patients and manual suture in 35 patients. There were 55 males and 10 females in the autosutured group, and 26 males and 9 females in manual sutured group, which showed no significant statistical difference between the two groups. The mean ages of patients for autosutured group and manual sutured group were 56.7$\pm$10.3 years and 61.4$\pm$9.2 years, respectively, which showed no significant statistical difference between the two groups. There were 38 cases of left pneumonectomy and 27 cases of right pneumonectomy in autosutured group, and 22 cases of left pneumonectomy and 13 cases of right pneumonectomy in manual sutured group. There were 53 cases of malignancy and 12 cases of benign imflammatory disease in autosutured group, and 27 cases of malignancy and 7 cases of benign imflammatory disease in manual sutured group. Result: The incidence of bronchopleural fistula was 6.1% in autosutured group and 5.7% in manual sutured group. The incidence of other postoperative complication between the two groups showed no significant statistical difference. Conclusion: The incidence of bronchopleural fistula between autosutured group and manual sutured group was not different stastically. Both method for closure of bronchial stump can be performed in pneumonectomy.

  • 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.
