摘要
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of open thoracotomy and video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for empyema thoracis in paediatric population. Study Design: Observational study. Place and duration of study: This observational study was conducted at Department of Thoracic Surgery, CMH, Lahore, from October 2013 to August 2018. Methodology: Medical record of children up to the age of 14 years who were operated for empyema thoracis was reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: Open thoracotomy, and VATS; and compared for etiology, preoperative treatment, grade of empyema, procedure performed; histopathology and complications, e.g. post-thoracotomy neuralgia, surgical site infection, recurrence over 6 months. Results: A total of 61 paediatric patients were operated for empyema thoracis. Age ranged between 1 to 14 years (mean = 10.25 +/- 3.30 years). Most common etiology of empyema was tuberculosis in 24 (39.3%) cases, followed by pneumonia in 22 (36.1%). Surgical treatment consisted of open thoracotomy in 40 (65.5%) cases, while 21 (34.5%) underwent VATS. Postoperative X-ray was satisfactory in 38 (95%) cases undergoing open thoracotomy as compared to 21 (100%) cases undergoing VATS (p=value 0.29). There was no recurrence in either of the two groups over a follow-up period of six months. Overall complication rate was 32.5% (13 cases) in cases undergoing open thoracotomy, while 33.3% (7 cases) in VATS group (p=value 0.95). There was one (2.5%) mortality in open thoracotomy group, while no death occurred in VATS group. Conclusion: Early surgical treatment, both open as well as VATS, gives satisfactory results in management of paediatric empyema. VATS is a safe alternative to open thoractomy with good success rate and less incidence of complications.
