Primary spontaneous pneumothorax could be a serious therapeutic problem in case of recurrence. Lack of therapeutic standards sometimes leads to delay in definitive surgical treatment and could cause respiratory complications. The aim of the studywas the evaluation of treatment results in patients with recurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax and looking for optimal therapeutic method after first recurrence (surgical treatment vs. pleural drainage). Material and methods.Between 01.01.2009 and 31.07.2010 fifty four patients with recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax was hospitalized in Wrocław Thoracic Surgery Centre (24.3% of all patients with pneumothorax). The recurrence was treated surgically in 24 cases, in 30 pleural drainage was performed: simple drainage (n=14) or drainage with chemical pleurodesis (n=16). Mean age of patients treated without surgery was higher than surgically treated (p=0,012). Results.In surgery group no recurrence was found, in drainage group 11 recurrences occurred (p=0.0009). In group of 11 patients with second recurrence, pleurodesis was performed four times (36%) vs. 12 times (63%) in 19 patients without a recurrence of the disease. 70% of non-surgically treated patients vs. 50% of surgically treated were afraid of recurrence (p=0.01). Among 11 patients in drainage group, nine underwent surgery at the second episode of recurrence. Conclusions.The optimal treatment method in case of first recurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is surgical treatment. When it is not possible chemical pleurodesis should be performed during pleural drainage. Most of the patients after second recurrence are treated surgically anyway. The surgical treatment significantly reduces patient’s fears for future recurrence of the disease. Younger patients are most often surgically treated.

Diagnosis and treatment of patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a serious problem for clinicians.The aim of the study were: to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of thoracoscopy and videothoracoscopy (VTS) and to determine the efficiency of using talc for the management of MPE.Material and methods. Between January 1996 and December 2006, thoracoscopy (VTS) was performed in 95 patients. A 4 g dose of talc was used for pleurodesis. Out of the 95 diagnostic procedures, malignancy was diagnosed in 94 (98.9%) patients. Patients were divided into two subgroups: subgroup A, patients (n=4) who died within first month, and subgroup B, patients (n=91) who lived more than one month. In subgroup A, complete remission (CR) was achieved in four (100%) patients until they died. In subgroup B, CR was achieved in 90 (98.9%) patients after one month, with relapse (R) occurring in 1 (1.1%) patient. After three months, CR was achieved in 86 (94.5%), partial remission (PR) in three (3.3%), and R in two (2.2%) patients. After six and nine months, CR was achieved in 85 (93.4%), PR in three (3.3%), and R in three (3.3%) patients. Postoperative complications, side effects after applying talc, and general performance were assessed. Difficulties in lung expansion requiring redrainage occurred in four (4.2%) patients. Fever appeared in 79 (83.2%) patients, while pain appeared in 90 (94.7%) patients. After treatment, the number of patients classified as I on the WHO scale increased from 36.8% to 74.7%, while the number of patients classified as III on the WHO scale decreased from 10.5% to 2.1%.Conclusions. Thoracoscopy (VTS) significantly improves diagnostic effectiveness in cases without cytological and histological diagnosis and is a method of treatment for MPE. Very good results were achieved after intrapleural administration of talc (CR occurred in 93.4% patients). The most common side effect of administering talc was pain.

Background. The term Monteggia fracture refers to a class of injuries encompassing the fracture of the proximal end of the ulna with subluxation or dislocation of the radial head. These injuries account for 0.4-1% of all forearm fractures in children. Despite its low incidence, Monteggia fractures require particular attention, since as much as 30-50% of the cases may be unrecognized, which subsequently leads to complications. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate treatment outcomes of Monteggia fractures in children. Both conservative treatment and surgery were analyzed. Material and methods. 15 children (7 boys and 8 girls) between the ages of 4-16.3 years (mean age 8.3 years) with Monteggia fractures were hospitalized at our center in the years 2015-2020. Closed reduction and immobilization in a cast were performed in 12 patients, while three children underwent surgical treatment with internal fixation of the ulna. The radial head dislocation was reduced successfully in every patient. Results. Every child from the study group who received conservative treatment regained full elbow mobility as well as normal forearm supination and pronation. Only one of the patients who underwent the surgery demonstrated a 20° deficit in elbow flexion that did not affect limb function. Conclusions. 1. Our experience shows that closed reduction together with immobilization in a cast is usually a sufficient treatment in Monteggia fractures. 2. However, the dislocated radial head should be properly reduced in all patients. 3. Correct diagnosis and treatment followed by appropriate rehabilitation result in full recovery and no mobility limitations in children and teenagers.

Wstęp. Złamanie Monteggia opisuje grupę urazów obejmujących złamanie bliższego końca kości łokciowej wraz z podwichnięciem lub zwichnięciem głowy kości promieniowej. Urazy te stanowią między 0,4-1% wszystkich złamań przedramienia u dzieci. Pomimo tak rzadkiego występowania, wymagają szczególnej uwagi, gdyż nawet 30-50% złamań Monteggia może być nierozpoznawanych, co prowadzi do późniejszych powikłań. Celem niniejszej pracy jest ocena wyników leczenia złamań Monteggia u dzieci, zarówno metodami zachowawczymi, jak i poprzez zastosowanie leczenia operacyjnego. Materiał i metody. W latach 2015-2020 w naszym ośrodku było hospitalizowanych 15 dzieci ze złamaniem Monteggia. Grupę tę stanowiło 7 chłopców i 8 dziewcząt, w wieku 4-16,3 lat (średnia 8,3). U 12 pacjentów zastosowano leczenie w postaci zamkniętej repozycji z unieruchomieniem gipsowym, u 3 dzieci zastosowano leczenie operacyjne ze stabilizacją wewnętrzną kości łokciowej. U wszystkich pacjentów uzyskano odprowadzenie zwichniętej głowy kości promieniowej. Wyniki. Spośród badanej grupy pacjentów u wszystkich dzieci, u których stosowano leczenie zachowawcze ruchomość stawu łokciowego oraz supinacja i pronacja przedramienia wróciła do pełnej sprawności. Jedynie jeden z pacjentów, u którego zastosowano leczenie operacyjne, rok po urazie miał 20° deficyt zgięcia w stawie łokciowym nie wpływający na funkcję kończyny. Wnioski. 1. Doświadczenia naszego ośrodka pokazują, że w leczeniu złamań Monteggia najczęściej wystarczającym postępowaniem jest zamknięta repozycja z unieruchomieniem gipsowym. 2. Jednak w każdym jednak przypadku należy pamiętać o właściwym odprowadzeniu zwichnięcia głowy kości promieniowej. 3. Odpowiednie rozpoznanie i prawidłowo poprowadzone leczenie, a następnie właściwa rehabilitacja prowadzą do całkowitego wyleczenia i braku deficytów ruchu u dzieci i młodzieży.
