Doctors use thoracoscopy to "deflate" lung bl hals. This technology is the first application in Hubei Province

Wuhan Evening News July 11 (Reporter Wuye Correspondent Zhang Quanlu) "Walking, no longer breathing, for the first time in 6 years, I felt so comfortable for the first time!" On July 11, Master Li, a patient with lung blister from Wenzhou, was excited. Describe the recovery of his postoperative recovery. It is understood that a hospital in Wuhan used internal thoracoscopy technology in Hubei Province for the first time in Hubei Province, which successfully implemented a lung blister reducing for patients. The successful use of this minimally invasive technology in this field has allowed patients with poor lung function and do not have the conditions of surgery, and have a new means to relieve symptoms.

Blidal blisters refer to rising internal pressure in the alveolar cavity due to various reasons, and the alveolar walls are fused with each other. This process is like blowing balloon. As the volume of lung blisters increases, it will squeeze the lung tissue, resulting in limited breathing. Once the lung blisters are ruptured, pneumothorax, and even tension pneumothorax will endanger patient life.

Master Li, 69, suffers from slow lungs and emphysema. Both lungs have multiple lung blisters of different sizes, of which 3 are more than the size of the fist. In the past six years, Master Li has been hospitalized 21 times and received anti -infection, asthma, atomization and other treatment, but these treatments can only temporarily relieve symptoms and cannot prevent the disease from further deteriorating.

At the end of June, when Master Li was hospitalized again and was hospitalized again, he was stuffy and could not go to the ground. Examination found that its dual lung and lung emphysema, severe lung blister severely squeezed normal lung tissue, and the lung function was only one -fifth of normal people. In this case, the risk of surgery was extremely high. At this time, Du Ronghui, the director of the Department of Breathing and Cympapture of Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital, has made new breakthroughs in the technology of thoracoscopy in the medical thoracoscopy in the Department of Department of Medicine. Master Li became the first "crab -eating person".

In early July, under multi -disciplinary cooperation such as radiology, anesthesiology, and thoracic surgery, under CT positioning guidance, doctors implant thoracoscopy through a 5mm puncture hole, and use surgical equipment to "air deflation" with the help of surgical equipment. Then, injecting biological gums and compacking the qi lung blister can be permanently closed and no longer expand. Compared with surgical thoracoscopy technology, this internal medical thoracoscopy technology is only moving blisters. It does not move the lungs and is very small to the patient.

"The lungs are stunned, and the pressured lung tissue recapture its own space, and the lung function will quickly recover." Du Ronghui said that this immediate effect was confirmed on Master Li's body. After waking up after surgery, Master Li felt the comfort of breathing for the first time. At present, the patient's two weeks after surgery expires, Master Li's lung function has been greatly improved, and he can be discharged recently.

Du Ronghui introduced that new technologies are suitable for patients who have caused huge lung blisters (or pneumothorax) for many years due to chronic obstructive pulmonary and emphysema, tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, and interstitial lung disease. Essence
