We performed thoracoscopic pericardiectomy to an 86-year-old patient with recurrent pericardial effusion of unknown origin. Etiology of pericardial effusion was established by this procedure. Postoperative course was uneventful. She was discharged within two weeks and has been well 8 months postoperatively. Thoracoscopic surgery is superior to thoracotomy in terms of less invasion and postoperative pain. Thoracoscopic surgery is replacing standard thoracotomy in the management of many thoracic diseases.
我们对一名86岁不明原因复发性心包积液患者实施了胸腔镜心包切除术。通过该手术确定了心包积液的病因。术后过程顺利。她在两周内出院,术后8个月情况良好。胸腔镜手术在侵袭性和术后疼痛方面优于开胸手术。在许多胸部疾病的治疗中,胸腔镜手术正在取代标准开胸手术。
