ObjectiveTo compare clinical outcomes between video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and conventional surgery for the treatment of multiple rib fractures. MethodsA total of 173 consecutive patients with multiple rib fractures were admitted to Dujiangyan People's Hospital from January 2010 to December 2012. There were 122 males and 51 females with their age of 19-71 (41.3±7.1) years. According to different treatment strategies, all the patients were divided into 3 groups:conservative treatment group (83 patients with a mean of 4.9±1.3 fractured ribs, including 20 patients with flail chest), conventional surgery group (41 patients with a mean of 5.2±1.1 fractured ribs, including 11 patients with flail chest) and VATS group (49 patients with a mean of 5.3±1.5 fractured ribs, including 14 patients with flail chest). Length of hospital stay, duration of postoperative pain, incision length, operation time, chest drainage duration and morbidity were compared among the 3 groups. ResultsThe incision length (5.2±1.5 cm vs. 8.5±2.3 cm, P=0.031), operation time (1.1±0.3 hours vs. 1.8±0.2 hours, P=0.003), chest drainage duration (0.3±0.0 day vs. 3.2±1.1 days, P=0.007) and length of hospital stay (13.7±1.5 days vs. 17.3±2.3 days, P=0.017) of VATS group were significantly shorter than those of the conventional surgery group. A total of 159 patients were followed up, and chest x-ray was examined at 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge. After 3 months, bone callus formation was evident around the rib fractures in chest x-ray in patients undergoing surgery, while bone union with deformity was shown in some patients of the conservative group. ConclusionWith the development of various internal fixation materials, surgical internal fixation has become a trend for patients with multiple rib fractures, and VATS internal fixation is minimally invasive with satisfactory clinical outcomes.
目的探讨多发性肋骨骨折合理治疗方法。 方法回顾性分析山东省日照市岚山区人民医院心胸外科2010年1月至2013年10月115例胸部闭合性损伤患者的临床资料,其中男81例、女34例,年龄19~75岁,平均36.2岁。 结果CT三维重建能够准确判断肋骨骨折情况及胸廓变形情况,然后设置小切口选择性手术内固定肋骨骨折,患者经过手术治疗后全部痊愈,无死亡病例,患者术后疼痛明显减轻,胸廓形状基本恢复,呼吸功能及咳嗽功能基本恢复,住ICU时间8~72(10± 2)h,住院时间9~21(12± 1)d。随访6~18个月,随访率88.7%(102/115);患者对手术治疗效果满意度为95.1%(97/102)。 结论多发性肋骨骨折患者利用螺旋CT三维重建立体定位后采用小切口手术内固定治疗是一种安全且符合微创原则的治疗方法。
目的探讨同种异体骨对多发性肋骨骨折内固定的治疗疗效。 方法回顾性分析我院2011年1月至2013年9月多发性肋骨骨折40例患者的临床资料,其中男33例、女7例,年龄23~67岁。 结果全组无1例死亡,手术时间为55~120 min,出血量30~120 ml,骨折矫形效果满意,浮动胸壁控制良好,反常呼吸消失,胸廓塑形满意,活动后疼痛减轻。随访3~24个月,内固定材料无明显移位、无折断,无明显急性或慢性排异反应,无骨折不愈合或延迟愈合,近远期无严重并发症发生。 结论用同种异体冻干骨对多发性肋骨骨折进行内固定治疗安全、有效。
目的探讨多发性肋骨骨折切口及手术入路选择 方法回顾性分析赤峰学院附属医院2000年6至2013年12月手术治疗58例多发性肋骨骨折患者的临床资料,其中开胸组46例,胸腔镜组12例,男43例、女15例,年龄36(15~61)岁。 结果开胸手术组平均手术时间152 min,平均住院时间16 d;腔镜镜手术组平均手术时间125 min,平均住院时间12.5 d。46例开胸手术患者中44例术后胸壁稳定,自主呼吸排痰良好,16例肺挫伤较重有呼吸综合征(ARDS)倾向,术后经12~148 h呼吸机支持后恢复,1例死于合并食管下段破裂,术后第3 d突发腹腔大出血,分析为外伤性腹主动脉瘤破裂。3例患者切口部分裂开,均为环抱器骨板,1例胸骨骨折胸大肌皮瓣拉拢缝合治愈,另2例中1例取出裸露骨板,1例换药及二期缝合治愈。45例患者返院及电话随访6个月至3年,开胸组39例胸壁稳定,胸部X线片固定处均有骨伽形成,全组无难以耐受的肋间神经痛,腔镜手术组切口及固定肋骨处愈合良好。 结论实际操作中可根据骨折形态特点以后外侧“~”切口及垂直切口为基础做多种变形。胸腔镜下手术切口设计时要根据骨折断端位置,可能出现的胸内脏器血管损伤,综合考虑切口布局;最好操作孔及进镜孔处有骨折断端,方便内外结合固定,节省手术时间;同时要考虑出血脏器损伤的部位,方便止血修补或中转开胸;操作孔可以3~5个。
