From 1992 to 1998 we performed 127 pneumonectomies for lung cancer. In 5 cases (3.9%) bronchial stump insufficiency developed postoperatively. Three patients were treated by means of videothoracoscopy (the Multifire Endo Hernia Stapler was used to clipped the fistula). Rethoracotomy with myoplasty was performed four times in 3 patients. In one patient both the methods were employed. In 2 out of 3 cases videothoracoscopic treatment was successful and the patients were discharged without signs of BPF and pleural empyema. In one case the recurrence of the fistula occurred and the stump of the bronchus was successfully covered with the pectoral musce flap 3 days later. In two cases after rethoracotomy and myoplasty (one of them was reoperated twice) the recurrence of BPF occurred and both the patients died due to cardiopulmonary failure.

Aim of the study was to compare the effects of midazolam and combination of midazolam and fentanyl during endoscopy. Twenty eight cases were investigated: oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (n = 14) and colonoscopy (n = 14). Anaesthetics were midazolam (M) in 16 cases, midazolam-fentanyl (MF) in 12 cases. Non-invasive mean arterial pressure, pulse rate, acid-base balance and blood gases (by Astrup method) were recorded before endoscopy, at the 5th and 10th minutes of endoscopy, 15 minutes after intervention and also before emission. Pulse rate changed between 78-92/min. Mean arterial pressure appeared between 84-90 mm Hg. In MF group both were lower but there was not significant difference between the groups. The values were in normal range, there were not metabolic acidosis which needed correction. Onset of sedative effect was 2.8 min. in M group, 2.3 min. in MF group.
