    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING REVIEW OF JOURNAL ARTICLE, TITLE: COMPARISON OF SINGLE-PORT VS. TWO-PORT VATS TECHNIQUE FOR PRIMARY SPONTANEOUS PNEUMOTHORAX AUTHORS: PEIJIE WANG, LIANG ZHANG, HONGJIE ZHENG, DONGQING YAN, HAIYANG FAN, HONGSEN LIANG, JUNHANG ZHANG & YUN LI, CITATION: MINIMALLY INVASIVE THERAPY & ALLIED TECHNOLOGIES, DOI: 10.1080/13645706.2020.1806077. THE PURPOSE OF THIS RETROSPECTIVE STUDY IS TO ANALYZE OUR SINGLE CENTER¿S EXPERIENCE TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY AND ADVANTAGES OF SINGLE-PORT COMPARED WITH TWO-PORT VIDEO-ASSISTED THORACOSCOPIC SURGERY (VATS) IN TREATING PRIMARY SPONTANEOUS PNEUMOTHORAX (PSP) PATIENTS. FROM JANUARY 2017 TO DECEMBER 2018, 104 PATIENTS WITH PSP UNDERWENT VATS. FIFTY-SIX PATIENTS RECEIVED SINGLE-PORT VATS AND 48 PATIENTS RECEIVED TWO-PORT VATS. THE MEAN AGE WAS 24.65 ± 0.48 YEARS (RANGE 15¿40). MEAN BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) WAS 18.48 ± 0.25 KG/M2 (RANGE 14.5¿29.1). THERE WERE 92 MALE PATIENTS AND 44 SMOKERS. THE IMPLANTS USED WERE AN ENDOSCOPIC LINEAR STAPLER (PSE45A, ETHICON ENDO-SURGERY, LLC. GUAYNABO, PR) AND A HARMONIC SCALPEL (ETHICON ENDO SURGERY INC ¿ JOHNSON & JOHNSON MEDICAL SPA, SOMERVILLE, NJ). (N=4) PROLONGED AIR LEAKAGE. ONE PATIENT RECOVERED AFTER PERFORMING CHEMICAL PLEURODESIS USING 50% GLUCOSE SOLUTION. THE OTHER 3 HAVE BEEN MANAGED CONSERVATIVELY AND RESOLVED SPONTANEOUSLY. (N=4) MILD PLEURAL EFFUSION. THESE PATIENTS WERE TREATED CONSERVATIVELY. PLEURAL EFFUSION WAS ABSORBED WHEN THEY WERE FOLLOWED UP ON THE FIRST MONTH AFTER DISCHARGE. (N=41) CHEST WALL PARESTHESIA. (N=3) IPSILATERAL RECURRENCE. ALL PATIENTS RECOVERED WITH CHEST DRAINAGE AND CHEMICAL PLEURODESIS. COMPARED WITH TWO-PORT VATS, SINGLE-PORT VATS FOR PSP SHOWED MORE FAVORABLE RESULTS IN TERMS OF POSTOPERATIVE PARESTHESIA AND PAIN. THE SINGLE-PORT PROCEDURE MAY BE CONSIDERED A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO THE STANDARD THORACOSCOPIC TREATMENT OF PSP.
