VATS Partial Pleurectomy Versus VATS Pleural Abrasion: Significant Reduction in Pneumothorax Recurrence Rates After Pleurectomy
INTRODUCTION: Surgical treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) usually consists of bullectomy and any form of pleurodesis to reduce risk of disease recurrence. Whether pleurectomy is superior to pleural abrasion is still a matter of debate with recurrence rates especially high when perfo...

description | INTRODUCTION: Surgical treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) usually consists of bullectomy and any form of pleurodesis to reduce risk of disease recurrence. Whether pleurectomy is superior to pleural abrasion is still a matter of debate with recurrence rates especially high when performed with a video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) approach. Aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the two methods in prevention of recurrence of pneumothorax in a minimally invasive setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 01/2005 and 12/2015, 107 patients younger than 40 years with PSP underwent VATS bullectomy and either partial pleurectomy or pleural abrasion. Medical records of patients were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Pleural abrasion was performed in 34/107 patients, 73/107 patients underwent partial pleurectomy. There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, body mass index or smoking history at time of surgery. There was no significant difference in major postoperative complications (p = 0.3022). Nine (8.4%) patients had a recurrence of pneumothorax during follow-up. Incidence of recurrence in those undergoing pleural abrasion was significantly higher than those undergoing apical pleurectomy (8/34 vs. 1/73, p < 0.001). Surgical technique was the only factor associated with a recurrence of PSP after surgical intervention. DISCUSSION: In our analysis, a VATS partial pleurectomy proved to be effective for prevention of recurrent PSP. Recurrence rates were low despite a minimally invasive approach and significantly lower than in the pleural abrasion group. According to these findings, VATS pleurectomy might be considered as the primary choice for surgical pleurodesis in patients with PSP. |
