胸腔镜碘酊胸膜固定术治疗恶性胸腔积液的临床研究

Clinical research on video-assisted thoracoscopic iodine tincture pleurodesis for treating malignant pleural effusion

目的:研究电视胸腔镜(video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery,VATS)碘酊胸膜固定术治疗恶性胸腔积液的临床疗效。方法:回顾性分析47例恶性胸腔积液(malignant pleural effusion,MPE)患者的临床资料,按照疗法不同,分为碘酊硬化剂组25例,滑石粉硬化剂组22例,两组患者均为MPE确诊病例,均行胸腔镜辅助胸膜活检加胸膜固定术,具有可比性。比较两组患者术后有效率(CR+PR)、平均总引流量、不良反应发生率、胸管留置时间。结果:所有患者术后呼吸困难症状均减轻,无急性肺损伤发生。碘酊组术后有效率96.0%,滑石粉组有效率为95.5%,组间比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。术后碘酊组不良反应率32.0%;滑石粉组不良反应率63.6%。两组术后不良反应有显著性差异(P<0.05)。结论:VATS碘酊胸膜固定术同滑石粉胸膜固定对治疗MPE有同样疗效,且较滑石粉不良反应少,治疗MPE疗效确切、操作简单、使用安全、不良反应少、价格便宜,值得临床推广应用。

Objective： To observe the therapeutic effect of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery （VATS） with iodine tincture pleurodesis on malignant pleural effusion （MPE）. Methods：Clinical data from 47 MPE cases were retrospectively analyzed. Based on different treatments, the 47 cases were divided into Groups A （n. 25） and B （n. 22）, which used iodine tincture and talc powder as a hard-ener, respectively. Provided that all cases were conclusively diagnosed as MPE, and the patients underwent VATS pleural biopsy and pleurodesis, Groups A and B were comparable. The authors then compared the postoperative effectiveness rates （both complete and par-tial remissions）, the volume of chest drainage, the incidence of adverse reactions, and the drainage time of the chest tube between the two groups. Results：Difficulty in breathing was proven to be less severe among all cases after the operation, and none of the patients suffered from acute lung injuries. After the operation, Group A exhibited an effectiveness rate of 96.0%, whereas Group B presented a rate of 95.5%, which indicates that no significant difference was found between the two groups （P〉0.05）. The total incidence of adverse reactions was 32.0%in Group A and 63.6%in Group B, with a significant difference between the two （P〈0.05）. Conclusion：VATS io-dine tincture pleurodesis has been proven to be as therapeutically effectual as talc pleurodesis and has resulted in fewer adverse reac-tions. This finding suggests that VATS iodine tincture pleurodesis has a promising potential in clinical practice because of its definite cu-rative effect, simple management, high security, fewer adverse reactions, and reasonable cost.
