Abstract

In most cases of diffuse bullous emphysema and chronic obstructive lung disease, t e risk of surgical treatment is very high. But surgical treatment in selected cases of bullous emphysema with localized involvement of only one side of the lung has suggested safe and good management. So patient selection of surgical treatment Is one of the most important things in management of bullous emphysema. From 1987 to 1992, 11 patients were operated for bullous emphysema with giant bullae at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery of Chonbuk National University Hospital. Author selected surgical candidates who had progressive dyspnea and symptomatic bullae occupying more than one third of the hemithorax and shifting the trachea and mediastinum to the opposite side of the lung. There were 7 males and 4 females ranged from 19 to 61 years of age. Operative procedures were bullectomy and/or wedge resection in 7 cases, segmentectomy in 2 cases and lobectomy in 2 cases. Symptoms and pulmonary function of all patients were improved six months to three years postoperat vely. There were no postoperative death. We conclude that surgical treatment of bullous emphysema with giant bullae is safe and a good treatment of modality in indicated patients.

만성 폐쇄성 폐질환이있는 기포성 폐기종 환자의 대부분은 외과적 처치에 대한 위험성이 높지만 기포 성 폐기종이 한쪽 폐에 국한되어 있는 경우에 외과적 치료는 안전하며 좋은 결과를 얻을수 있다. 따라 서 기포성 폐기종 환자의 외과적 치료에 있어서 가장 중요한 것 중의 하나는대상환자를 정하는 것이다. 전북대 학교병 원 흉부외 과학교실에서는 1987년부터 1992년까지 거대 기포성 폐기종 환자 11명을 수술 치료 하였다. 남자가7명,여자가4명이었으며 연령 분포는 19세에서 61세까지 였다. 외과적 치료의 대 상은.점 차 진행하는 호흡곤란이 있으며, 한쪽 흥강의 113 이상을 점유하는 거대 기포가 있고, 기관 및 종 격동을 환측 반대 쪽으로 밀고있는 경우로 하였다. 수술은 폐기포 절제 및 쐐기 절제술 7례, 폐구역 절제술 2례, 그리고 폐엽 절제술 2례 시행하였다. 수술사망은 없었으며, 모든 환자의 증상과 폐기능 검사소 견은 수술후 향상되 었다. 상기와 같이 선택되어진 거대 기포성 폐기종 환자에서는 외과적 치료가 안전하고 좋은 치료 방법으로 사료된다.
