Abstract

Background: Pleural symphysis is regarded as an important treatment option in reducing recurrence rates after surgical treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. However, there is much debate over the best method for achieving pleural symphysis. We retrospectively compared apical pleurectomy (AP) with mechanical pleural abrasion (MPA). Material and Method: Between January 2000 and December 2007, 83 patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for spontaneous pneumothorax. In addition to wedge resection of bullae, MPA was performed in 21 patients (group A) and AP in 62 patients (group B). Result: There were no significant differences in age, gender and site of pneumothorax between the two groups. Operative time was $97{\pm}44$ minutes in group A and $77{\pm}18$ minutes in group B (p>0.05). The mean amount of pleural drainage through the chest tube on the first postoperative day was $156{\pm}87 cc$ in group A and $147{\pm}87 cc$ in group B (p>0.05). There was no mortality or significant morbidity in all patients with the exception of reoperation for bleeding in two patients in group B. In the postoperative course, there were no statistical differences between the two groups in the rate of residual air space, air leak and indwelling time of chest tube, and hospital stay. Mean follow up time was $31.7{\pm}25.3$ months, and the recurrence rate of pneumothorax was 9.5% (2/21) in group A and 6.5% (4/62) in group B, without statistical significance. Conclusion: AP was no more advantageous than MPA in terms of operative time, postoperative course and prevention of recurrent pneumothorax. Therefore, complete resection of bullae and existence of residual bullae are more important factors in reducing the incidence of recurrent pneumothorax than pleural symphysis.

배경: 늑막간 공간을 유착시키는 것은 자발성 기흉의 재발빈도를 줄이는 데 매우 중요한 요소이며, 수술적으로 여러 가지 방법이 시도되어왔다. 본 저자들은 자발성 기흉 치료를 위해 비디오 흉강경하 수술을 시행하면서 시행하는 흉강 첨부 늑막 절제술과 기계적 늑막 유착술과의 결과를 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 1월부터 2007년 12월까지 본원에서 흉강경을 이용하여 시행한 자발성 기흉 수술 중 83예의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 기계적 늑막 유착술을 시행한 경우가 21예(A군)였고, 나머지 62예(B군)에서는 흉강 첨부 늑막을 절제하여 늑막 유착술을 시행하였다. 결과: 두 그룹간의 성별, 나이 그리고 기흉이 발생한 방향에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 수술시간은 A군의 경우가 $97{\pm}44$분, B군의 경우는 $77{\pm}18$분이었고 수술후 1일째 흉관 배액량은 A군의 경우가 $156{\pm}87cc$였으며, B군의 경우는 $147{\pm}77cc$로 두 군간 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 수술후 사망한 경우는 없었으며 다만 출혈로 인하여 재수술을 한 경우가 B군에서 2예가 있었다. 또한 수술후 1일째부터 흉강 첨부에 사강이 발생한 빈도와 수술직후부터 공기누출소견이 발생한 빈도 그리고 수술후 흉관제거에 걸린 날수와 퇴원까지 걸린 날수 역시 두 군간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 수술후 추적관찰 기간은 평균 $31.7{\pm}25.3$개월이었으며, 수술후 기흉이 재발한 경우는 A군은 21예중 2예였고(9.5%), B군은 62예중 4예(6.5%)였으나 역시 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론: 두 늑막유착술 간에 통계적으로 의미있는 차이가 없으며 기흉의 재발 여부는 늑막유착술 방법의 차이보다는 폐쐐기절제술이나 기낭절제술 자체, 또는 발견되지 않는 잔여 기낭의 존재 여부가 중요한 것으로 판단된다.
