Objetivo

Analizar la eficacia de una solución hidroalcohólica de povidona yodada como agente químico sinfisante, en el tratamiento del neumotórax espontáneo

Material y método

Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo de 81 pacientes con diagnóstico de neumotórax espontáneo, tratados mediante videotoracoscopia y pleurodesis química con una solución hidroalcohólica de povidona yodada, en el Servicio de Cirugía Torácica del Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau de Barcelona, desde enero de 1993 a diciembre de 1999

Resultados

Se trata de 81 pacientes, 59 varones (73%) y 22 mujeres (27%) con edades comprendidas entre los 14 y los 82 años (media de 33 años). El hemitórax afectado con mayor frecuencia fue el derecho, en 43 casos (53%)

Las principales indicaciones de tratamiento quirúrgico fueron: recidivas en 52 casos (64%) y fugas aéreas persistentes en 25 (31%)

Todos fueron tratados por videotoracoscopia, se realizó resección del parénquima pulmonar en 30 casos (37%) e instilación pleural de solución hidroalcohólica de povidona yodada como agente químico sinfisante en todos los casos. Durante el postoperatorio inmediato presentaron fugas aéreas 10 pacientes (12,3%), fiebre autolimitada 5 pacientes (6,1%) y hubo dos infecciones en los orificios de los drenajes (2,4%). Durante un período de seguimiento postoperatorio de 6 a 67 meses (media de 24 meses) hemos constatado 5 recidivas (6,1%)

Conclusiones

La solución hidroalcohólica de povidona yodada es un agente químico sinfisante de fácil aplicación por videotoracoscopia y de gran eficacia en el tratamiento del neumotórax espontáneo

Objective

To analyze the efficacy of an iodo-povidone hydroalcoholic solution for the chemical pleurodesis of spontaneous pneumothorax

Material And Method

A descriptive, retrospective study of 81 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax. The patients were treated by video-assisted thoracoscopy and chemical pleurodesis with an iodo-povidone hydroalcoholic solution at the thoracic surgery unit of Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona (Spain) between January 1993 and December 1999

Results

Eighty-one patients, 59 men (73%) and 22 women (27%), between 14 and 82 years old (mean age 33 years) were treated. Pneumothorax was most often on the right side (43 cases, 53%). The main indications for surgery were recurrence (52 cases, 64%) and persistent air leaks (25 cases, 31%). All were treated by video-assisted thoracoscopy, with resection of the pulmonary parenchyma in 30 cases (37%) and pleural instillation of the iodo-povidone hydroalcoholic solution as the irritant in all cases. Air leaks were observed during early postoperative recovery in 10 patients (12.3%), self-limited fever in 5 (6.1%) and infection of drainage openings in 2 (2.4%). During the postoperative follow-up period of 6 to 67 months (mean 24 months), 5 recurrences (6.1%) were seen

Conclusions

An iodo-povidone hydroalcoholic solution is easy to apply by video-assisted thoracoscopy and is highly effective for pleurodesis in cases of spontaneous pneumothorax
