Abstract

Lung volume reduction surgery(LVRS) has recently been advocated as an alternative or a bridge to lung transplantation for patients with evere dibbling emphysema. This procedure is a palliative treatment performed to alleviate the dyspnea of patients with emphysema and improve performance in the activities of daily living. The rationale of lung volume reduction for generalized emphysema is that the removing of the diseased and functionless lung may improve the function of remaining, less diseased lung. The factors critical to the success of LVRS are careful patient selection, accurate localization of target areas, meticulous anesthetic and operative technique, and intensive postoperative support. We have experienced a case of severe emphysema in a 59-year-old male patient. After selection process and pulmonary rehabilitation, the patient was treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic LVRS and the post-operative course was uneventful.

폐용적 감축술(Lung volume reduction surgery : Lns)은 최근들어 활동이 어려운 심한 폐기종 환자에서 폐이식의 대체요법이나 폐이식의 전단계 시술로 추천되고 있다. 이 시술은 폐기종 환자의 호흡곤란을 감소 시키고 일상생활의 수행을 개선시키기 위한 고식적인 치료방법이다. 범발성 폐기종 환자에 대한 폐용적 감축술(LVRS)의 개념은 병변이 심한 기능이 없는 폐를 절제함으로써 남아있는 병변이 적은 폐의 기능을 개선 시킨다는 것이다. 폐용적 감축술UnS)의 성공에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 요소들로는 철저한 환자의 선택 (patient selection), 정확한 수술부위의 위치선정, 신중한 마취 및 수술기법, 그리고 집중적인 술후 처치 등이 있다. 본 병원에서는 심한 폐기종으로 입원한 59세 남자환자에서 철저한 선택과정patient selection)과 호흡기재활 (pulmonary rehabilitation)을 거쳐 흉강내시경을 이용하여 폐용적 감축술InnS)을 시행하였으며 술후 경과 양 호하녀 퇴원 후 현재 외래 추적관찰 중이다.
