[Penetrating Injury of the Lung with a Glass Splinter].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 2016 November
A 62-year-old man got drunk and dived into the windowpane. He received lacerations on his face and incised wound at his right chest, and was carried to our hospital. Computed tomography showed a glass splinter, about 14 cm of length, in the chest cavity. The patient underwent an emergency thoracotomy and it was found that the glass splinter penetrated through the upper lobe to the hilum. After removing the glass, simple closure by suturing the entrance and exit of the upper lobe was performed. The post operational course was uneventful. Selected patients can be rescued by simple pneumonorrhaphy without resection of lung.
