Spontaneous pneumothorax: comparison of simple drainage, talc pleurodesis, and tetracycline pleurodesis.

There were 58 men and 38 women, aged 18-88 years. There was no significant difference between the three groups in the mean t...

متن کاملTreatment of complicated spontaneous pneumothorax by simple talc pleurodesis under thoracoscopy and local anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND Complicated (recurring or persistent) spontaneous pneumothorax requires treatment either by talc pleurodesis with bullae electrocoagulation or, more aggressively, by thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. However, the relative merits of bullectomy, pleurectomy, and pleurodesis have not yet been established in the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. METHODS The comp...
متن کاملSpontaneous pneumothorax. Long-term results with tetracycline pleurodesis.
The aim of this prospective study was to determine the rate of recurrence for spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) after tetracycline pleurodesis (TCP), using that of observation, tube thoracostomy alone, and thoracotomy as references. From 1985 to the end of 1991, 78 patients were treated with tetracycline pleurodesis and 135 patients served as control subjects. Pleurodesis was induced by instillatio...
متن کاملTalc pleurodesis for the treatment of pneumothorax and pleural effusion.
Early interest in the development of pleural symphysis resulted from the desire of surgeons to produce adhesions to facilitate lobectomy.1 Various agents were tried but were found to be of limited value. The indications for pleurodesis have expanded over the years to include the treatment of benign and malignant effusions, the prevention of recurrence of pneumothoraces, and, more recently, to a...
