    We evaluated whether the quality of life was affected in patients who had undergone various types of thoracotomy using the Short Form-36 Health Survey. The patients who had undergone thoracotomy for diagnosis or treatment between January and September 2011 in the Thoracic Surgery Department were investigated to determine the effect of the type of thoracotomy on the quality of life using the Short Form-36 Health Survey. The patients were classified into three groups. In Group I, the latissimus dorsi and the serratus anterior had both been preserved, and there was no muscle dissection, in Group II the latissimus dorsi muscle had been dissected and only the serratus anterior muscle has been preserved, and in Group III both muscles had been dissected, and the standard posterolateral muscle dissection had been performed. A total of 101 patients comprising 64 males (63.37 %) and 37 females (36.63 %), with a median age of 38 years, were included in this study. There were significant differences in all quality of life subscales between Groups I and III and between Groups II and III. The patients in Group I had the highest scores, while the patients in Group III had the lowest scores. There were no significant differences in five of the eight Short Form-36 subscales and one of the two summary scores values between Group I and Group II in females. We investigated the effect of the type of thoracotomy on the patient quality of life using the Short Form-36 Health Survey, and found that the standard posterolateral thoracotomy had a marked adverse effect on the quality of life compared to muscle-sparing thoracotomy. We also found that it is possible to use thoracotomy with serratus preservation rather than muscle-sparing thoracotomy in cases with benign diseases where a large field of view is required, such as for decortication and pulmonary hydatid cysts, without any significant decrease in the quality of life, especially in females.

    (Medical Association of Zenica-Doboj Canton, 2014) Sevinc, Serpil; Ors Kaya, Seyda; Unsal, Saban; Dereli, Sevket; Alar, Timucin; Can Ceylan, Kenan; Yucel, Nur
    Aim To evaluate the role of the tissue culture via mediastinoscopic biopsy in granulomatous mediastinal lymphadenitis. Methods The dossier data of 92 cases with mediastinal lymphadenitis showing granulomatous lymphadenitis features by cervical mediastinoscopy and whose clinical, radiological and bacteriological definitive diagnosis is tuberculosis and sarcoidosis were examined retrospectively. The rate of the positive tissue culture of mediastynoscopic biopsy in the diagnosis of granulomatous lymphadenitis was calculated. Results There were 65 (71%) females and 27 (29%) males. The mean age of the patients was 42.5 (range 15-75) years. Non necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis was detected in 58 (63 %) cases while necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis was seen in 34 (37%) cases. There were 29 cases diagnosed with tuberculosis. Acid resistant bacilli culture positive rate was 38% (in 11 cases). There were 21 (62%) cases of necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis and eight (14%) cases of non-necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis diagnosed with tuberculosis. Culture positivity was identified in two (25%) of eight cases whose differential diagnosis could not be made histopathologically as tuberculosis/sarcoidosis. Conclusions In addition to clinical, radiological and histopathological diagnosis, the study aims to highlight the importance of tissue culture in definitive diagnosis, especially undetermined incidents.
