Abstract
The objective of the study is еo evaluate the possibilities of videothoracoscopy in the cases of pleurisy of inflammatory nature of specific and non-specific etiology.
Material and methods. We carried out the retrospective analysis of medical histories of 135 patients.. Parapneumonic pleurisy was diagnosed in 68 (54.4 %) patients, tuberculous pleurisy – in 57 (45.6 %) patients.
Results. Videothoracoscopy was diagnostic procedure in 61.6 % of patients and was performed for the defragmentation of pleurisy in 38.4 % of patients. Videothoracoscopy allows exactly diagnosing the tuberculous pleurisy by means of biopsy in the absence of lesions on the pleura. Resistant parapneumonic pleurisy was diagnosed in 34.9 % of patients. In cases of parapneumonic resistant pleurisy, the pleurodesis reduces the time of the drainage by means of injection through the drainage of mixtures of betadine and concentrated solution of glucose.
