Successful Tractotomy Technique for a Penetrating Lung Injury in a Patient with One Lung
We report the case of a patient with penetrating chest trauma (right chest) who had undergone a left pneumonectomy due to pulmonary tuberculosis 24 years ago. We performed an emergent thoracotomy, finding an opening of the penetrating wound in a lower-lobe basal segment of the right lung. A staple...

| description | We report the case of a patient with penetrating chest trauma (right chest) who had undergone a left pneumonectomy
due to pulmonary tuberculosis 24 years ago. We performed an emergent thoracotomy, finding an
opening of the penetrating wound in a lower-lobe basal segment of the right lung. A stapled tractotomy was
performed along the tract. Bleeding control and air-leakage control was done easily and rapidly. The patient
was discharged without any complications on the seventh day of admission. Tractotomy can be a good option
for treating penetrating lung injuries in patients with limited lung function who need emergent surgery. |
