Pleurectomy and decortication

Abstract: Pleurectomy and decortication (P/D) improve survival and quality of life in selected patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. The operative procedure was not standardized until recently. The goal of the operation is to perform a macroscopic complete resection of the tumor. This often involves resection of the parietal and visceral pleura and invariably a partial or complete resection and prosthetic reconstruction of ipsilateral hemidiaphragm. We describe our operative planning and technique as well as out… Show more

“…Limitierender Faktor ist, dass v. a. in den älteren Publikationen zwischen Pleurektomie-Dekortikation und erweiterter Pleurektomie-Dekortikation nicht konsequent unterschieden wird und diese Gruppen oft vermischt werden. Es gibt zu beiden Techniken Publikationen, die jeweils in retrospektiven chirurgischen Serien sehr gute Langzeitergebnisse berichten 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 .…”

“…Use of a second ventilator and ventilation with room air is one approach that inflates the lung without compromising the patient's oxygenation and assists with the actual dissection of the visceral pleura. 79,80 Operative lung reinflation can also be accomplished via manual ventilation with room air or via commercially available CPAP devices. If 2 ventilators are to be used, lung separation must be achieved with a DLT.…”
