2 Tuberculosis Phthisis Greek = decaying Scrofula swollen neck glands Consumption 1546 Hieronymus Fracastorius Theory of contagion 1679 Francisucus Delaboe Sylvius Opera Medica Tubercula = small knots 1821 Rene Laennec Totalitarium theory 1839 Johann Schonlein Tuberculosis 1868 Jean-Antoine Villemin confirmed infectious transmission Tuberculosis Robert Koch 1882 Berlin Physiologic Society Koch bacillus Demonstrated the bacillus responsible for the disease Established microbiologic principles Developed the first vaccine Alexander J. The collapse therapy of pulmonary tuberculos is, Springfield, Charles C. Thomas

3 Tuberculosis Early treatments Sanatoriums Rest Nutrition Mortality rates Advanced disease 69% Moderately advanced 23% Minimal disease 13% Surgical Management of Tuberculosis 18 th Century observation: Patients with spontaneous pneumothoraces had favorable evolution of the lesions Collapse - decreases ventilation inhibiting Mycobacterial metabolism Served as basis for development of first surgical interventions for treatment of tuberculosis 3

4 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Carlo Forlanini The Collapse Therapy of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Collapse produces: fibrosis containment of disease prevention of spread to other areas Medical therapy could be supplemented with creation and maintenance of pneumothorax Alexander J. The collapse therapy of pulmonary tuberculos is, Springfield, Charles C. Thomas 1937 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Pneumothorax Devices Air Sterile needle Water manometer Pressure and volume measurement Procedure repeated Every days x 3 years Adhesions limited collapse 4

5 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Hans Christian Jacobeus The practical importance of thoracoscopy in surgery of the chest Surg Gynecol Obstet 1922; 34: 289 Advanced collapse therapy with surgical thoracoscopy Division of pleural adhesions Two incisions: scope, cautery Long procedure Usually required multiple sittings Alexander J. The collapse therapy of pulmonary tuberculos is, Springfield, Charles C. Thomas 1937 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Eloesser and Brown 1925 Open division of adhesions Extraplerual approach Avoids tearing the lung Empyema, Fistulas Fey B et al: Traite de technique chirurg icale. Paris, L i brairies de L Academle de Medec ine

6 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Stuertz 1912 Phrenicectomy Reduced respiratory movements small operation- popular Greatest effect on lower lobes Scalenectomy added to immobilize upper lobe Tearing of the nerve advocated to ensure destruction of collaterals Alcohol ablation Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Intercostal neurotomy open division alcohol ablation Vajda 1933 pneumoperitoneum 6

7 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Thoracoplasty 1879 Estlander first to use the term thoracoplasty removal of the ribs to bring chest wall down to a lung which would not expand after drainage of an empyema 1885 de Cerenville resection of 2 or more ribs to collapse the chest over areas of apical tuberculosis Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Thoracoplasty 1890 Schede localized empyema resection of ribs, patietal pleura, periosteum, intercostal muscles, intercostal neurovascular bundles mutilating, unprotected heart, paresthesias, large wound 1907 Brauer and Freidrich single stage full length resection of ribs 2-9 including periosteum and intercostal muscles (40% mortality) 7

8 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Thoracoplasty Alexander three stage thoracoplasty extrapleural eventually included first through tenth ribs done in stages to limit flail chest resection of posterior ribs and transverse process leave periosteum and neurovascular bundles Surgical Management of Tuberculosis 1934 Semb Extrafascial Apicolysis extrapleural division of adhesions between the pleural dome at the apex and the soft tissues around the base of the neck 8

9 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Thoracoplasty Intrapleural Schede - resection of ribs, pleura, muscles and neruovascular bundles Heller, Kergin - preservation of intercostal muscles Horrigan and Snow - limited rib resection Extrapleural Alexander ribs only Semb extrafascial apicolysis Björk osteoplastic thoracoplasty Plombage Tuffier extrapleural plombage Sawamura extrafascial pneumoysis and plombage Andrews thoracomyoplasty Limited limited resection of ribs Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Plombage Tuffier popular in the 1950 s alternative to thoracoplasty Extrapelural dissection Collapse affected area Held by plomb Lucite balls 9

10 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Plombage collapse obtained with one operation no physical deformity applicable to poor risk patients preserved lung function it was applicable to bilateral disease hospital stay was short reduced postoperative complications cured up to three-fourths of the patients Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Plombage Materials omentum fresh lipoma paraffin wax bone gauze sponge silk gelatin rubber balloons methyl-methacrylate Lucite balls oil Oleothorax 10

11 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Plombage only cured 75% of patients infection mediastinal compression migration erosion malignancy Limited application today silastic tissue expanders Weissberg D. Weissberg D. Late complications of collapse therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis Chest. 120(3):847-51, 2001 Sep. Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Thoracoplasty Modern Indications: infected spaces after pulmonary resection apical spaces after lobectomy empyema after penumonectomy chronic empyema unrelated to resection apical empyemas (tuberculosis or pneumonia) infected space after pneumothorax aspergillosis tailored thoracoplasty with lung resection Not indicated in basilar spaces 11

12 Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Thoracoplasty Techniques Limited Subperiosteal rib resections preservation of first rib to maintain skeletal stability stripping of undersurface to allow apical collapse Muscle flap transposition Closure of bronchopleural fistulas Surgical Management of Tuberculosis Thoracoplasty Complications Disfiguring Paraesthesia Frozen shoulder Scoliosis 12
