[APPLICATION OF A ONE-PORTED VIDEOTHORACOSCOPY IN DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF A PLEURAL EXUDATE]
Abstract:
The results of examination and treatment of 71 patients for pleural exudates (PE) of various origin were analyzed. The efficacy of application of a one-ported thoracoscopy in diagnosis and treatment of a PE in patients with noncomplicated course of intrathoracic pathological processes was proved. The reduction of the PE quantity by (15 ± 4)% and duration of exudation by (15 ± 9)% was noted after performance of a one-ported thoracoscopic interventions, reduction of operative trauma and subjective sensation of pain, as well as best cosmetic effect.
