Objective — to acquaint doctors of different profiles with thoracic pathology in patients with coronavirus infection. Materials and methods. Since the beginning of the SARSCoV-2 pandemic, on the basis of the clinical department for the surgical treatment of tuberculosis and NZL complicated by purulent septic infections 70 patients were treated, of which 39 (55.7 %) had various broncho-pulmonary purulent-inflammatory complications of coronavirus infection. Results and discussion. The distribution of treated patients with bronchopulmonary purulent-inflammatory complications of coronavirus infection by nosology is presented in Table 1. According to the table presented, pleural empyema was a frequent bacterial complication of the respiratory system — 18 (46.1 %) cases; only 6 (33.3 %) patients were diagnosed with broncho-pleural communication, while in 12 (66.7 %) patients, already at the stage of hospitalization, a functioning broncho-pleural fistula was observed.17 (94.4 %) patients with empyema underwent videothoracoscopic (VATS) debridement of the pleural cavity with polydrainage and the use of prolonged active aspiration in the postoperative period. The management of such patients was no different, except for 2 points: the need to continue GCS therapy and the obligatory long-term prescription of anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs.In 1 (5.6 %) case, due to the extremely serious condition of the patient, only drainage of both pleural cavities was performed (this case was fatal). In another case, after 2 VATS of the pleural cavity, bronchial blocking of the upper lobe and intermediate bronchi of the right lung was performed, followed by active aspiration. Nonspecific exudative pleurisy was diagnosed in 8 (20.5 %) patients after coronavirus infection. There were 13 patients with abscess pneumonia and abscesses (33.3 %). This group of patients underwent drug therapy for a long time, which consisted in the appointment of broad-spectrum antibiotics, anticoagulants, pathogenetic therapy and symptomatic treatment.After a course of conservative treatment, 9 (69.2 %) patients underwent the following surgical interventions — sublobar resection for a sanitized lung abscess in 4 (44.5 %) cases, lobectomy in the presence of sanitized residual large cavities in 3 (33.3 %) patients, partial pleurectomy with decortication of the lung and sublobar resection of the lower lobe of the left lung in 2 (22.2 %) patients.Conservative therapy was successful only in 4 (30.7 %) patients. All 13 patients with abscess pneumonia and abscesses were discharged from the institute with full recovery or improvement (small sanitized destruction cavities up to 2 cm in diameter remained in the lung parenchyma). There were no lethal outcomes.The overall effectiveness of the treatment of this contingent of patients was 97.4 %, and the general mortality rate — 2.6 %.Videothoscopic treatment was effective in 25 (64.1 %) patients with pleural empyema and nonspecific pleurisy, and in 4 (16 %) patients it allowed to stabilize the condition and carry out resection surgery. Conclusions. Purulent-destructive complications of the respiratory system in coronavirus infection have a causal component, and therefore timely exposure to all parts of the pathogenesis can significantly reduce their level. Preference should be given to videothoracoscopic intervention in the complicated course of coronavirus infection. The high level of diagnosis (25.4 %) of concomitant pathology of the chest with the widespread use of radiological methods in the pandemic of coronavirus infection may indicate a low level of preventive medicine in the state.

Background: Bronchiectasis is usually caused by pulmonary infections and bronchial obstructions. It is still a serious problem in developing countries, as our country. We reviewed the morbidity and mortal-ity rates and outcomes of bronchiectasis surgical treatment. Patients and methods: Between years 2000 and 2016, one hundred and seven (107) patients, sixty nine (69) of whom female and thirty eight (38) male underwent pulmonary resection for bronchiecta-sis. The mean age was 35years (range, 13–66 years). Mean duration of symptoms was 12 years. Results: Symptoms were copious amount of purulent sputum in 84 patients, expectoration of foul-smelling sputum in 72, haemoptysis in 21 and cough in all patients. The indications for pulmonary resection were: medical therapy failure in eighty two (82) patients, massive haemoptysis in eighteen and lung abscess in seven (7) patients. The disease was bilateral in twenty seven (27) patients and mainly confined in the lower lobe. Eighty six (86) patients had a lobectomy, 7 had a segmentectomy, two patients right pneumonectomy. Operative morbidity was seen in 47 patients (43.9 %) and mor-tality in two (2) patients. Follow-up was complete in 97 patients with a mean of 5 years. Overall, 78 patients were asymptomatic after surgical treatment; symptoms were improved in 24, and unchanged or worse in 5. Conclusions: Surgical treatment of bronchiectasis is more effective in patient with localized disease. It is satisfactory with acceptable ratio of morbidity and mortality.

The article describes a case of polysegmental destructive viral-bacterial pneumonia complicated with acute pulmonary abscess, pleural empyema, and pneumopleurofibrosis in a 50-year-old female patient infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The first clinical, laboratory and radiological signs of purulent-necrotic inflammation appeared only 20 days after receiving a positive RT-PCR test result with a nasopharyngeal swab. A month later, an emerging abscess in the lower lobe of the right lung was diagnosed. Subsequently, it spontaneously drained into the pleural cavity.Coagulopathy with the formation of microthrombi in small pulmonary vessels is one of the causative factors of lung abscess in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

THORACIC SURGICAL TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH CORONAVIRUS INFECTION M. S. Opanasenko, B. M. Konik, S. M. Belokon, O. V. Tereshkovich, S. M. Shalagai, L. I. Levanda, M. I. Kalinichenko, V. I. Lysenko, M. U. Shamrai, A. M. Stepanyuk, O. D. Shestakova Abstract Aim. To familiarize physicians of different specialties with thoracic pathology in patients with coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Materials and methods. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic 63 patients were treated at the department of surgical treatment of tuberculosis and NLD, complicated by purulent-septic infections: 47 (74.6%) — with various complications of coronavirus infection, and 16 (25.4%) — COVID-19 and conditions, requiring thoracic surgery, not associated with COVID-19. Results. Pleural empyema was the most common bacterial complication — 18 (28.5%) cases. Only 6 (9.5%) patients were diagnosed with broncho-pleural fistula, while 12 (19.6%) patients already had a functioning broncho-pleural fistula at the stage of hospitalization. In 15 (23.8%) patients, the destructive cavities remained on admission, and only 3 (4.7%) had isolated pleural empyema without destruction of pulmonary parenchyma (complete scarring of abscesses). 17 (26.9%) patients with empyema underwent videothoracoscopic (VATS) drainage of the pleural cavity with polydrainage and the use of long-term active aspiration in the postoperative period. In 1 (1.5%) case, due to the extremely severe condition of the patient, only drainage of both pleural cavities was performed. 1 (1.5%) patient with bilateral pleural empyema died of progressive respiratory and cardiovascular failure. Nonspecific exudative pleurisy was diagnosed in 8 (12.6%) patients after coronavirus infection. Spontaneous pneumothorax without development of pleural empyema was diagnosed in 7 (11.1%) patients and in 3 (4.7%) cases pneumo hemothorax occurred. in 2 (3.1%) cases there was a need for parietal pleurectomy (there was a significant area of detachment of the visceral pleura and the impossibility of imposing intracorporeal sutures). All patients were discharged from the hospital with recovery. 6 (9,5 %) patients with necrotizing pneumonia comprised a challenging group of patients with large, treatment-resistant cavities. In 4 (6.3%) cases antibacterial therapy was ineffective, so transthoracic cavity drainage was performed. All 6 patients underwent radical resection interventions following long pre-operative period: 3 (4.7%) cases - pleurolobectomy, 2 (3.1%) — sublobar resection and 1 (1.5%) - resection of the 6th segment of right lung). Conclusions. Pulmonary purulent-destructive COVID-19 complications may occur much more rarely if timely treatment was used. Videothoracoscopic intervention is a preferred option of treatment of these conditions. Key words: COVID-19, thoracic pathology pneumohemothorax, pleurodesis. Ukr. Pulmonol. J. 2021;29(3):31–35:

Surgical Tactics

The aim of the study was to improve the results of treatment of patients with descending purulent mediastinitis by means of individualized surgical tactics with the priority use of minimally invasive surgical interventions and developed methods of drainage of the mediastinum and pleural cavity. Examination and treatment of 73 patients with descending purulent mediastinitis receiving treatment in the department of thoracic surgery of Ivano-Frankivsk regional clinical hospital was carried out. Treatment of patients in the main group included intramediastinal administration of antibiotics, the use of the developed method of cascade drainage of the mediastinum and pleural cavity, the priority use of video-assisted thoracoscopy and surgical tactics aimed at anticipating the spread of the purulent process in the mediastinum. The rapid and reliable decrease in the indices of endogenous intoxication in the main group confirms the effectiveness of the developed tactics of surgical treatment of patients with mediastinitis, adequate sanation of purulent mediastinatis, complete removal of the purulent substrate from the mediastinum and pleural cavity. The developed tactics of surgical treatment of purulent mediastinitis allowed reducing the overall postoperative mortality from 26.3% in the comparison group to 11.4% in the main group of patients.

Comprehensive Examination

A retrospective analysis of the results of a comprehensive examination and treatment of 34 patients with perforation of the middle and lower third of the thoracic esophagus complicated by mediastinitis and pleural empyema for the period from 2010 to 2020 was performed. The most common causes of perforation of the middle and lower third of the thoracic esophagus were foreign bodies of the esophagus ‒ 52,9 %, spontaneous rupture of the esophagus ‒ 35,4 % and penetrating stab wounds ‒ 8,8 %. It was revealed that the improvement of the results of the complex treatment of this category of patients was achieved due to the implementation of the «off» operation technique in surgical practice by creating the so-called «controlled fistula». The introduction of this method of treatment into the structure of surgical interventions, supplemented by subsequent VAC-therapy of the mediastinal space and pleural cavity, significantly reduced mortality from 56,3 % to 11,1 %.

Boerhaave Syndrome

Introduction. Boerhaave syndrome is a rare, difficult to diagnose and formidable disease with a high mortality rate. For the treatment of this pathology, many variants of interventions have been proposed. Some surgeons prefer to use a thoracotomic access, others – a laparotomic transhiatal one. In the domestic literature there are scant observations of usement of minimally invasive technologies.Clinical observation. The patient was admitted to the surgical department for emergency indications. In the admission department spontaneous left side hydropneumothorax was diagnosted. Drainage of the left pleural cavity was performed. On the second day, a spontaneous rupture of the esophagus was diagnosed. Video-laparotranschiatal drainage of the posterior mediastinum, drainage of the left subhepatic space, Maydl jejunostomy was performed. In the postoperative period, intensive conservative therapy was carried out, massive lavage of the mediastinum and the left pleural cavity with antiseptic solutions. For a long time, there was a large drainage debit. Because of treatment the dynamics were positive. On the 45th day the drainage of the pleural cavity was removed. By the 66th day complete healing of the esophageal defect and removal of the mediastinal drainage.Discussion. Due to the difficulties in diagnosis, a spontaneous rupture of the esophagus was detected a day later. The applied surgical access and technique allowed to provide adequate drainage and sanitation of the posterior mediastinum and left pleural cavity. The subsequent tactics of managing the patient ensured his recovery. The trauma of the video-laparotranschiatal access is less, in comparison with open surgical interventions. We consider the experience of using video endoscopic technologies for Boerhaave syndrome positive and promising.

Emphysematous Lung

The review article discusses the prevalence, etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. The vascular, mechanical, obstructive, infectious, and enzymatic theories of the occurrence of emphysematous lung changes as the main cause of developing spontaneous pneumothorax are described; the role of smoking as the main etiological factor and its influence on the recurrence rate of spontaneous pneumothorax are studied. The issues of choosing primary cure tactic are considered. The effectiveness of conservative treatment, puncture and drainage of the pleural cavity as methods of treatment and pleurodesis for the prevention of recurrences of spontaneous pneumothorax are described. A comparativeassessment of various methods of pleural cavity obliteration is given: chemical pleurodesis (by sterile talc, minocycline, povidone-iodine, 50% glucose solution, autologous blood and its components, autologous adipose tissue, pseudomonas aeruginosa sensitive hemagglutinin, picibanil), apical pleurectomy, pleuroabrasion. The experience of using YAG-ND and CO2 as methods of physical pleurodesis, intraoperative Staple Line Coverage with polyglyconic acid and fibrin gel is described. The necessity of active surgical tactic in the treatment of patients with spontaneous pneumothorax developed on the base of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia has been substantiated. The advantages, disadvantages, indications and contrindications to different ways of surgical treatment (thoracotomy, video-assisted minithoracotomy, thoracoscopy) are discussed. The strategy for choosing treatment methods depending on the volume of pneumothorax, the severity of bullous changes, the presence of concomitant diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the value of the Charlson comorbidity index is considered. The expediency of using video-assisted minithoracotomy as the safest and most effective method of surgical treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax has been substantiated. The effectiveness of surgical interventions depending on the timing of their implementation is considered.

During COVID-19 pandemic the issue of diagnosis and rational therapy of community-acquired pneumonia in children became acute. This is caused by difficulties in verification of the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia in the outpatient department, peculiarities of interpretation of the respiratory system lesions. The article presents clinical cases of communityacquired pneumonia in children admitted to the pulmonology department of a pediatric hospital.Clinical case 1. 5-year-old child, medical history: acutely fell ill, on 28.11.20, had a sore throat and fever up to 39.0 C. Received Kagocel, Miramistin, Nurofen. PCR for COVID-19 on 08.12.20 was positive, on 18.12.2020, 22.12.2020, 20.01.2021 - negative. Immunoassay (ELISA) on 12.23.20: IgM - 4.47, IgG - 255.25. Lung and pleural cavity ultrasound: echo signs of sharply pronounced interstitial syndrome, massive fibrinothorax on both sides, indirect signs of bronchopleural fistulas; lung radiography: bilateral polysegmental pneumonia, bilateral hydrothorax, bilateral fibrinothorax, with no marked progression; CT scan with IV contrast: CT picture of hydrothorax on the left, hydropneumothorax on the right, pleurisy on both sides, compression atelectasis of lower lobe segments of both lungs. With no marked progression. Treatment. Thoracentesis; antibiotic therapy, antimycotics, infusion therapy, immunotherapy, partial parenteral nutrition. Against the background of the therapy, positive dynamics was obtained. Clinical examples are also given: an 8-year-old child with suspected new coronavirus infection and a 5-year-old child with bilateral polysegmental pneumonia.
