A Thorough View of Tube Thoracostomy, The Most Common Surgical Procedure Performed by Thoracic Surgery Clinics: Ten Years' Clinical Experience
Öz
AIM: Tube thoracostomy, which is one of the most common surgical interventions performed in thoracic surgery, is the procedure of inserting a catheter from the intercostal space into the pleural space so as to provide drainage of the air or fluid (blood, lymph, pus, etc.) in the pleural space. The objectives of this study were to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients undergoing tube thoracostomy and to assess the complications due to the procedure.
METHODS: The study was planned retrospectively. Patients who underwent tube thoracostomy due to any reason in our hospital during the 10-year period between January 2008 and December 2017 were included in the study. Tube thoracostomies performed after thoracic and cardiac operations were excluded from the study. Demographic data of the patients were evaluated in terms of indications for tube thoracostomy, duration of tube thoracostomy, thoracostomy-induced complications, clinical findings, and the total hospitalization duration.
RESULTS: A total of 3567 tube thoracostomies were performed during the 10-year period between January 2008 and December 2017. 2072 (58.1%) were traumatic and 1495 (41.9%) were due to non-traumatic reasons. The indications of the thoracostomy were 1665 (46.7%) pneumothorax, 688 (19.3%) hemothorax, 324 (9.1%) hemopneumothorax, 752 (21.1%) pleural effusion, 130 (3.6%) empyema and 8 (0.2%) chylothorax.
CONCLUSION: Tube thoracostomy is a life-saving procedure frequently used under elective and emergency conditions in the field of thoracic surgery. Although the procedure is easily performed by the experienced surgeons within minutes, its emergent complications may be serious and life-threatening if careful attention is not paid. It achieves excellent results when tube thoracostomy conducts accurately and carefully.
