Abstract
Introduction
The management of congenital lung malformations (CLMs) is controversial because most of them are asymptomatic. The aim of our study was to analyze the association of preoperative symptoms with surgical outcomes in patients with CLMs treated by means of minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
Patients and methods
Retrospective study of patients with CLM treated with MIS in our hospital between 2003 and 2023. We recorded data on the following variables: demographic characteristics, size, type and location of the lesion, mediastinal shift, clinical symptoms, surgical time, conversion to open surgery, duration of chest drainage (days), length of stay and postoperative complications.
Results
The sample included 116 patients, 98 (84.4%) asymptomatic and 18 (15.5%) with clinically significant symptom: infectious in 10 (55.5%) and respiratory distress in eight. The most frequent histopathological type was congenital pulmonary airway malformation (35.5%), followed by intralobar sequestration (27.3%), and the lower lobes were most commonly involved (78.4%). Larger lesion size on the CT scan was significantly associated with the development of symptoms (P = .027) and with an increased frequency of conversion to open surgery. However, the incidence of postoperative complications was not greater in the symptomatic group.
Conclusions
Postoperative complications were not significantly more frequent in the symptomatic group of patients. Larger lesion size on imaging was associated with a significantly increased probability of developing symptoms, so these patients may benefit from early surgical resection.
期刊介绍:
La Asociación Española de Pediatría tiene como uno de sus objetivos principales la difusión de información científica rigurosa y actualizada sobre las distintas áreas de la pediatría. Anales de Pediatría es el Órgano de Expresión Científica de la Asociación y constituye el vehículo a través del cual se comunican los asociados. Publica trabajos originales sobre investigación clínica en pediatría procedentes de España y países latinoamericanos, así como artículos de revisión elaborados por los mejores profesionales de cada especialidad, las comunicaciones del congreso anual y los libros de actas de la Asociación, y guías de actuación elaboradas por las diferentes Sociedades/Secciones Especializadas integradas en la Asociación Española de Pediatría.
