Pneumothorax, an Uncommon but Devastating Complication Following Shoulder Arthroscopy: Case Reports
Shoulder arthroscopy is a mature and widely used treatment to deal with various shoulder disorders. It enables faster recovery and decreases postoperative complications. However, some complications related to shoulder arthroscopy cannot be neglected because they could be life threatening. We present...

description | Shoulder arthroscopy is a mature and widely used treatment to deal with various shoulder disorders. It enables faster recovery and decreases postoperative complications. However, some complications related to shoulder arthroscopy cannot be neglected because they could be life threatening. We presented three cases of various clinical manifestations of pneumothorax after shoulder arthroscopy. The first case was a 65-year-old female who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair under general anesthesia and interscalene nerve block in the beach-chair position. The second case was a 58-year-old male undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and reduction in glenoid fracture under general anesthesia in the lateral decubitus position. The third case was a 62-year-old man receiving arthroscopic rotator cuff repair under general anesthesia in the lateral decubitus position. Each case’s operation time was 90, 240, and 270 min. The pressure of the irrigation pumping system was 30, 50, and 70 mmHg, respectively. The second and third cases did not undergo interscalene nerve block. Although the incidence of pneumothorax following shoulder surgery and interscalene nerve block was only 0.2%, it is one of the most life-threatening complications following shoulder arthroscopy. In these cases, multifactorial factors, including patient positioning, interscalene nerve block, long surgical time, size of rotator cuff tears, and the pressure of the irrigation and suction system, can be attributed to the occurrence of pneumothorax. It is crucial to fully comprehend the diagnosis and management of pneumothorax to reduce the risk for patients receiving shoulder arthroscopy. |
