    Casos Clínicos Endometriosis diafragmática: a propósito de un caso
    (Sociedad Chilena de Obstetricia y Ginecología, 2016) Berrios, Raul; Bulboa, Constanza; Santolaya, Raimundo; Undurraga, Pedro; Perez, Pablo; Sandoval, Cesar
    Background: Endometriosis affects between 5 to 15% of women of reproductive age. Thoracic presentation entity is infrequent (less than 1% of all cases of endometriosis) and may be located in airway parenchyma, pleura or diaphragm. Its clinical manifestations usually occur within the first 72 hours of onset of menstruation and include chest pain, pneumothorax or hemoptysis. Better management consists of hormonal suppression and surgical management in refractory cases. Objective: To describe a case of diaphragmatic endometriosis, successfully treated by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Case report: Woman of 27 years old, with a history of ovarian endometriosis operated by electrofulguration two years before. She present right omalgia and a history of pelvic endometriosis. Chest CT report a solid, ovoid formation, 30 mm x 13 mm, which captures contrast partially, located in the right sub diaphragmatic region. Image is interpreted as a possible focus of endometriosis, it is complemented by RNM that is consistent with the diagnosis. It is performed VATS right with diaphragmatic resection and primary repair. Pathology reports endometriosis with negative margins. The pleurostomy is removed after 48 hours, she was discharged after three days. A one year follow up, it is asymptomatic and without evidence of recurrence. Conclusion: Despite its low frequency, the thoracic endometriosis represents an important commitment to the quality of life. Cases with chest complications, and with fair or poor response to hormone therapy, benefit with minimally invasive surgical resolution.

    Minimally invasive management of traumatic lung herniation
    (Oxford University Press, 2017) Pérez, Pablo; Undurraga, Felipe; Santolaya, Raimundo; Berrios, Raul; Rivera, Francisco
    Post-traumatic pulmonary hernia can occur immediately after thoracic trauma or it may also appear months or even years after the onset. We report a case of a seventeen year-old male patient with thoracic blunt trauma secondary to high energy bicycle accident. Chest CT shows moderate hemothorax and pneumothorax, displaced fracture of the fifth left rib, and protusion of pulmonary tissue through a chest wall defect. In the Emergency Room the patient presents with chest pain (7/10 in Visual Analog Scale) and respiratory distress. Video-assisted thoracic surgery approach was chosen. Hernia reduction, non-anatomic lingular resection and rib fracture external fixation using a titanium plate was performed. Traumatic pulmonary hernia is an uncommon complication of thoracic trauma which may constitute an emergency for the trauma or thoracic surgeon. The early management of this injury can be developed by minimally invasive approach with excellent results.
