A 3-Cm Single-Port Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy for Lung Cancer
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015) Ocakcioglu, Ilhan; Sayir, Fuat; Dinc, Mustafa
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is advantageous over traditional surgical practices, because of a faster postoperative recovery period, less pain, and a shorter hospital length of stay. There is no single standard technique in the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery approach. Although these minimally invasive resections are habitually performed through 3-port or 4-port incision, we performed a left lower lobectomy in a 54-year-old male patient for lung cancer, through a 3-cm single-port incision.
Clinical Analysis of Pneumonectomy for Destroyed Lung: a Retrospective Study of 32 Patients
(Springer Japan Kk, 2019) Sayir, Fuat; Ocakcioglu, Ilhan; Sehitogullari, Abidin; Cobanoglu, Ufuk
ObjectiveDestroyed lung is whole lung destruction secondary to chronic or recurrent lung infections. This clinical condition can result in irreversible changes in the lung parenchyma. In this study, we aimed to evaluate patients undergoing pneumonectomy with a diagnosis of lung destruction in terms of surgical technique, post-operative morbidity and mortality, and long-term outcomes.MethodsA total of 32 patients that underwent pneumonectomy due to a destroyed lung between 2005 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, presenting symptoms, etiologies, localization of the destruction, pre-operative medical history, pre- and post-operative respiratory function tests, intraoperative complications and bleeding volume, morbidity and mortality, length of hospital stay, and long-term follow-up outcomes were reviewed for each patient.ResultsThe study included 32 patients with a mean age of 31.710.8years. All the patients presented with persistent cough, whereas sputum production was presented by 25, hemoptysis by 18, and chest pain by 11 patients. The underlying primary diseases included nonspecific bronchiectasis in 20 (62.5%), tuberculosis in 9 (28.1%), left pulmonary hypoplasia accompanied by Bochdalek hernia in 2 (6.2%), and aspiration of a foreign body lodged in the left main bronchus in 1 (3.1%) patient. Mean operative time was 220.6 +/- 40.2min and mean perioperative bleeding was 450.9 +/- 225.7ml. Post-operative complications occurred in 14.2% of the patients, most commonly including atelectasis associated with stasis of secretions and wound site infection. Mean post-operative hospital stay was 11.8 +/- 2.8days and mean follow-up period was 35.5 +/- 28.3months. A significant clinical improvement was observed in 81.2% of the patients post-operatively.Conclusions Favorable long-term outcomes were obtained in our patients through careful patient selection and appropriate pre-operative work-up and surgical technique.
Nadir Görülen Bir Olgu: İzole Perikardiyal
(2015) Yalçınkaya, İlhan; Ocakcioglu, Ilhan; Yıldız, Hanifi; Alpay, Levent; Sayır, Fuat; Dogruyol, Talha; Dinç, Mustafa
Ülkemizde endemik olarak görülen ekinokokkozun perikardiyal yerleşimine nadiren rastlanmaktadır. Hastalık asemptomatik olarak kalabildiği gibi ani ölümlere de yol açabilmektedir. Kabul gören tedavi yöntemi kistlerin cerrahi olarak çıkartılmasıdır ve nüksü engelemek amacıyla cerrahiyi takiben albendazolle medikal tedavi önerilmektedir. Nadir görülmesi nedeniyle perikardiyal kist hidatik olgusunu literatür eşliğinde sunmayı amaçladık
Rib Resection Using a Gigli Saw Under Thoracoscopic Guidance
(Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2019) Ocakcioglu, Ilhan; Sayir, Fuat
Introduction: Despite the advantages and expanded indications of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, the open surgical approach is commonly preferred for the surgical treatment of rib lesions. Such an approach could lead to disadvantageous results such as increased postoperative pain and prolonged hospital stay. Despite all these handicaps, thoracoscopic resection of isolated rib resection has been reported in a small number of publications. Aim: To compare the clinical outcomes of patients with isolated benign rib pathologies treated with either minimally invasive or open surgery. Material and methods: The medical records of 22 patients undergoing surgery for isolated benign rib pathologies between 2013 and 2017 were reviewed. Variables statistically compared between the two groups were age, gender, symptoms, lesion size, duration of the surgery, amount of intraoperative bleeding, conversion to open surgery, volume and duration of the drainage, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, pathological diagnosis, follow-up period, recurrence, duration of narcotic analgesic usage and pain according to visual analog scale evaluation. Results: The thoracoscopic approach was superior to conventional surgery in terms of drainage volume, time to drain removal, morbidity, hospital stay, narcotic analgesic treatment duration and postoperative pain scores. All thoracoscopic procedures were concluded successfully, and conversion to open surgery was not required. During the mean 14-month follow-up period, no recurrence was encountered in either group. Conclusions: This technique is a safe option for isolated benign lesions of the ribs. It is more effective in patient recovery in the postoperative period and in the management of surgical pain.
Uniportal Thoracoscopic Approach for Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst: Preliminary Results
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018) Ocakcioglu, Ilhan; Sayir, Fuat
Purpose: Pulmonary hydatid cyst is a preventable parasitary disease with high prevalence in low-medium income countries. Thoracoscopic approach is seen in the literature as small-case groups and multiple-port incisions are observed in these studies. Unlike other thoracoscopic approaches for the surgical treatment, we describe the single-port technique for the first time in our study. We attempt to compare the clinical outcomes and preliminary results of patients with pulmonary hydatid cyst treated with either minimally invasive or thoracotomy. Methods: The medical records of 66 patients undergoing surgery for pulmonary hydatid cyst disease between January 2013 and July 2017 were reviewed. The number of patients who underwent thoracotomy was 48, whereas 18 were managed by single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Variables statistically compared between the 2 groups were age, diameter of the cystic, operation time, volume and duration of the drainage, postoperative complications, length of stay, duration of narcotic analgesic usage, and pain score. Results: Thoracoscopic approach was superior to conventional thoracotomy in terms of operation time, drainage volume, time to drain removal, hospital stay, narcotic analgesic treatment duration, and postoperative pain scores. All thoracoscopic procedures were concluded successfully, and conversion to open surgery was not required. No postoperative mortality was seen in either group. During the follow-up period, no recurrence was encountered in either group. Conclusions: Uniportal thoracoscopic approach is a safe option for the treatment of hydatid cyst disease. It can be used as an alternative to thoracotomy, depending on the size and location of the lesion.
