Pleural Effusion Overview
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.2K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Auricular seroma is a benign pinna swelling, often post-trauma, potentially causing disfigurement if mismanaged.
  • Recurrence is a significant challenge in treating auricular seroma, demanding effective therapeutic strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of aspiration and intralesional steroid injection for auricular seroma treatment.
  • To assess the recurrence rates of auricular seroma following this minimally invasive procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 30 patients diagnosed with auricular seroma.
  • Treatment involved aspiration of the seroma followed by intralesional injection of Triamcinolone acetate.
  • Patients underwent rigorous follow-up for up to one year and beyond.

Main Results:

  • No recurrence of auricular seroma was observed in any patient at the one-year follow-up.
  • Fifteen patients were followed for at least two years, with four continuing follow-up for six years post-treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Aspiration and intralesional steroid injection is a simple, cost-effective, and minimally invasive treatment for auricular seroma.
  • This technique demonstrates a promising ability to prevent recurrence of the condition.
