Objective: To retrospectively analyze the results of surgical resection in patients with pulmonary hamartoma (PH) in the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital during the past 30 years.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 226 patients with PH who underwent surgical resection in the PLA General Hospital between January 1980 and January 2010, including tumors of pulmonary parenchyma (n = 216) and endobronchial tumors (n = 10). The type of operation include tumor enucleation (n = 103), wedge resection (n = 103), and lobectomy (n = 20). The postoperative follow-up time was 5–22 years.
Results: Only one postoperative death occurred. The intraoperative blood loss and the drainage volume within 24 postoperative hours were significantly less in patients underwent lateral thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) than those of patients underwent conventional incision. None of the patients experienced regional recurrence.
Conclusion: We recommended lateral thoracotomy or VATS for the patients whose PH could not be confirmed preoperatively, and tumor enucleation or wedge resection was recommended. |
