TY - JOUR T1 - Recommendations for Overcoming Difficulties in Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Pericardial Fenestration TT - Video Yardımlı Torakoskopik Perikardiyal Pencere Uygulamasında Karşılaşılan Zorluklar için Öneriler AU - Gürz, Selçuk AU - Deşer, Serkan Burç AU - Temel, Necmiye Gül PY - 2022 DA - August DO - 10.46332/aemj.1002463 JF - Ahi Evran Medical Journal JO - Ahi Evran Med J PB - Kirsehir Ahi Evran University WT - DergiPark SN - 2619-9203 SP - 197 EP - 202 VL - 6 IS - 2 LA - en AB - Purpose: Pericardial fenestration is used to treat recurrent pericardial effusion. This study aimed to assess the issues and solutions inpericardio-pleural fenestration (PPF) applications using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), which is more prominent today.Materials and Methods: Between July 2018 and December 2020, a total of 8 patients (3 males, 5 females; median age: 51.8 years,range: 23–65 years), who underwent VATS PPF in the Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine, were retrospectively evaluatedusing the hospital database and the findings were compared with the results reported in previous literature.Results: The amount of pericardial fluid drained and the measurement of fluid next to the inferior wall on echocardiography had astatistically significant positive and high correlation (p=.032). Shorter surgical time was correlated with the right lateral 45° positionand single port interventions (p=.020). The average time to remove the chest tube was 3.1 days (min: 2.0-max: 7.0), and the averagetime to discharge was 6.1 days (min: 3.0-max: 10.0).Conclusion: VATS PPF conducted through the 4th intercostal space with a single port in the right lateral 45° position is a procedurethat can be safely used in patients with recurrent pericardial effusion, despite the type of therapy. KW - pericardial effusion KW - pericardial fenestration KW - VATS N2 - Amaç: Perikardiyal pencere, tekrarlayan perikardiyal efüzyonu tedavi etmek için kullanılır. Bu çalışmada, günümüzde daha çok öneçıkan video yardımlı torakoskopik cerrahi (VATS) kullanılarak perikardiyo-plevral pencere (PPF) uygulamalarında yaşanan sorunlarınve çözüm önerilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Araçlar ve Yöntem: Temmuz 2018 - Aralık 2020 tarihleri arasında Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi'nde VATS PPF uygulanan toplam 8 hasta (3 erkek, 5 kadın; ortanca yaş: 51.8 yıl, aralık: 23-65 yıl), retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi ve bulgular literatürdebildirilen sonuçlarla karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Ekokardiyografide inferior duvara komşu ölçülen sıvı ile boşaltılan perikardiyal sıvı miktarı arasında istatistiksel olarakanlamlı pozitif korelasyon vardı (p=.032). Daha kısa cerrahi süre, sağ lateral 45° pozisyon ve tek port müdahaleleri ile korele idi (p=.020). Göğüs tüpünün ortalama çıkarılma süresi 3,1 gün (min: 2,0-maks: 7,0) ve ortalama taburcu olma süresi 6,1 gündü (min: 3,0-maks: 10,0).Sonuç: Sağ lateral 45° pozisyonda tek port ile 4. interkostal aralıktan gerçekleştirilen VATS PPF, tedavi şekline rağmen tekrarlayanperikardiyal efüzyonu olan hastalarda güvenle kullanılabilecek cerrahi tedavi yöntemidir.
