Abstract

Background: These days, lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is used as an alternative or a bridge operation to lung transplantation in treating patients with severe emphysema. The procedure can be used in patients with pulmonary nodules combined with severe emphysema. We report the results of 21 months follow up after lung volume reduction surgery in 7 cases including 2 cases of concurrent resection of pulmonary nodules. Material and Method: Seven patients with emphysema, including 2 cases of preoperatively suspected lung cancer were operated with LVRS technique between July 1996 and June 1997. Result: Postoperative mortality was observed in a case of squamous cell carcinoma in LUL with brain metastasis, detected at postoperative 13months. Average of 21months(19-25months) follow up was done for other cases without specific events. Conclusion: LVRS is a useful operation in the treatment of patients with severe emphysema, but further evaluation should be done about the long term results and precise criteria for patient selection. Simultaneous LVRS and tumor resection could be done in patients with emphysema with marginal reserve in the hope of maximizing postoperative lung functions.

배경: 폐용적 감축술은 말기 폐기종환자의 치료에 폐장이식의 대치술 혹은 전단계 시술로 최근 이용되고 있는 술식이다. 또한 심한 폐기종환자에서 종양이 동반되는 경우, 종양절제술과 동반하여 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 저자들은 폐종양 절제술을 동시 시행한 2례를 포함하여 7례의 폐용적 감축술후 평균 21개월간의 추적 관찰 결과를 보고한다. 대상 및 방법: 가톨릭대학교 흉부외과에서는 1996년 7월부터 1997년6월까지 수술당시 폐 종양이 의심되었던 환자 2례를 포함하여 만성폐기종환자 7명에서 폐용적 감축술을 시행하였다. 술후 검사는 3개월, 6개월, 1년, 2년에 각각 시행하였으며 현재까지 평균 21개월의 추적관찰을 시행하였다. 결과: 술후 사망은 술후 13개월에 뇌 전이를 동반한 평편상피암이 좌상엽에서 발견된 환자 1례에서 있었다. 나머지 6례의 환자는 평균 21개월의 추적관찰 중으로 현재까지 양호한 경과를 보이고 있다. 결론: 폐용적 감축술은 심한 폐기종환자의 치료에 유용하며 앞으로 적절한 적응증이 확인되고 장기성적이 보고되는 등의 계속적인 연구 결과가 필요한 것으로 생각된다. 또 폐 기능의 여유가 없는 폐기종환자의 초기 폐종양치료에 술후 폐 기능의 개선을 위하여 종양절제술과 동시에 폐용적 감축술을 시행할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
