The Abilities of Videothoracoscopy at Blunt Thoracic Traumas

Abstract

Overall 292 patients with the blunt trauma of the chest were at the in-patient treatment from 2006 to 2011 years at the 2 nd clinic of the Tashkent Medical Academy. All the patients were separated by us to 2 groups: the first (control) group are 145 (49,7%) patients, who were diagnosed and treated without using of the videothoracoscopy; the second (basic) group are 147 patients, at whom the videothoracoscopy was used at the stages of diagnostic and treatment. As a result of performed research was confirmed that using of the videothoracoscopy at the patients with the blunt thoracic trauma helps to reduce the number of the postoperative complications from 23.4% to 14,3% of the cases, allows to reduce the frequency of the wide thoracotomy from 11,7% to 0,6% of the cases, reduce the terms of being of the patients at the stationer.
