Abstract

Based on the improved design of the existing thoracic cavity closed drainage system, a new multi-functional device is developed and is described here in detail. The device is more convenient and more efficient than the existing system. Besides, it has a function of autotransfusion. Animal experimental results show that it has attained the goal of the improved design.

Retrieval of intraperitoneal Penrose drain under transvaginal endoscopic guidance.

BACKGROUND: One of the unfortunate complications associated with the use of Penrose drains is slipping down of the drain into the peritoneal cavity because of incomplete placement of skin sutures to secure the drain. CASE: A 49-year-old woman with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIIc ovarian cancer underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, total hysterectomy, partial omentectomy, and pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes removal. On the third postoperative day, one of the Penrose drains slipped down, leaving it inside the patient. The intraperitoneal Penrose drain was successfully retrieved under endoscopic guidance through vaginal cut stump. She went home on the 9th day after the initial operation and started to receive postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy on the 17th day. CONCLUSION: The endoscopic-guided retrieval through vaginal cut stump of an intraperitoneal retained Penrose drain is an excellent option.

Pancreaticopleural fistula visualized by computed tomography scan combined with pancreatography.

CONTEXT: We report a case of a pancreaticopleural fistula which was clearly demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) scan following pancreatography and which was successfully treated with endoscopic nasopancreatic drainage combined with octreotide. CASE REPORT: A 52-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for additionally evaluation of bilateral pleural effusion. The pleural fluid amylase level was markedly elevated. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography showed a cyst in the body of the pancreas and extravasation of contrast medium extending cranially from the cyst. The disease was treated successfully with endoscopic nasopancreatic drainage combined with the administration of octreotide. A pancreaticopleural fistulous route was clearly demonstrated by CT scan following pancreatography through the nasopancreatic drainage tube. CONCLUSIONS: A CT scan following pancreatography was useful in demonstrating a pancreaticopleural fistulous route.

Management of empyema cavity with the vacuum-assisted closure device.

Management of empyema after pulmonary resection remains a challenging problem. Along with mandatory drainage of the thoracic cavity and investigations to rule out bronchopleural fistula, a reliable method of thoracic cavity closure is needed. The open thoracic window and Eloesser flap techniques rarely represent definitive therapy. Muscle flap and thoracoplasty procedures may provide well-vascularized tissue to close bronchopleural fistula and obliterate the empyema cavity, but they are quite complex and involve significant patient morbidity. We report a case of empyema without bronchopleural fistula after lobectomy in which the vacuum-assisted closure device was used to achieve complete wound healing after open drainage.
