Thoracoscopic Exploration in Comparison to Exploratory Thoracotomy in Chest Trauma

NCT05991570 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: AssiutCTS
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 40
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

Video-assisted thoracic surgery has a standard role in diagnosis and therapy in thoracic surgery, In the past, most patients necessitating surgical treatment secondary to chest trauma was exposed to open thoracotomy, which was the most morbid of surgical incisions

Conditions

Thoracic Injury

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Duration of airleak, lung expansion and post operative bleeding.

  • Duration of complete healing: By 1. Radiological (chest x-ray ant-post view and lat view \& MSCT chest post-operative. 2. Clinical examination post operative.

  2 weaks postoperative

Study Arms (2)

case

OTHER

Use of vedio assisted thoracoscopic surgery in exploration in diagnosis and treatment of chest trauma patients whos heamodynamically stable

Procedure: Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

control

OTHER

exploratory thoracotomy inchest trauma patients in failure of vedio assisted thoracoscopic surgery or in haemodynamically instable patients

Procedure: Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

Interventions

Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) PROCEDURE

VATS is minimally invasive procedure for exploration to diagnose and treat thoracic injuries alternative to exploratory thoracotomy.

Also known as: Thoracoscopic Exploration
