Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the safety and efficacy of completely thoracoscopic treatment of pulmonary sequestration (PS) in children.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed for 33 PS cases undergoing complete thoracoscopy from February 2014 to August 2017.There were 22 boys and 21 girls with an age range of 2 to 145 months.A definite diagnosis of PS was made by preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA).Threehole surgical route and operative lobectomy or irregular resection were performed.ResultsThirtythree patients successfully underwent thoracoscopy without open thoracotomy.The procedures included lobectomy (n=19),irregular resection (n=6),segmentectomy (n=1) and extralobar resection (n=7).ConclusionThoracoscopic treatment of pediatric pulmonary sequestration is both safe and efficacious.It may reduce intraoperative bleeding and improve surgical safety.
