Abstract
An observation from practice is given – surgical treatment of mediastinal pulmonary hernia in a patient after pneumonectomy using the method of anterior mediastinal plastic surgery with a mesh implant with demonstration of long-term results.
The patient I. 31 years old was ill with pulmonary tuberculosis for 3 years, treatment was carried out, against which the stenosis of the left main bronchus progressed. The patient underwent endoscopic operations: argonoplasmic destruction of the left main bronchus, balloon dilation of the left main bronchus, with a temporary effect. Due to recurrent stenosis of the left main bronchus, a pneumonectomy was performed on the left. After 7 months, she complained of severe shortness of breath at rest. Computed tomography revealed a displacement of the mediastinal organs to the left, an upper-anterior pulmonary mediastinal hernia of the right lung to the left midclavicular line at the level of the anterior I-IV intercostals on the left. The patient underwent plastic surgery of the anterior mediastinum on the right using a polymer mesh implant. As a result of treatment, after 3 years, radiologically stable restoration of the position of the only right lung in its hemithorax. The patient is functionally compensated, shortness of breath is not observed. The patient has completely returned to her usual lifestyle.
