Risk factors for pneumothorax recurrence after videothoracoscopy primary spontaneous are still being debated. The goal of this study was to assess whether the pleurodesis technique and other variables possibly associated with postoperative ipsilateral pneumothorax.We retrospectively collected data 1178 consecutive ≤40-year-old patients who underwent in 9 centres between 2007 2017. We excluded hybrid and/or incomplete follow-up, leaving analysis 843 cases [80% men; median age (interquartile...
Lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Interest growing towards early detection and advances in liquid biopsy to isolate circulating tumor cells (CTCs). This pilot study aimed detect epithelial CTCs peripheral blood early-stage non-small cell lung (NSCLC) patients. We used Smart BioSurface® (SBS) slide, a nanoparticle-coated slide able immobilize viable nucleated cellular fraction without pre-selection preserve integrity. Forty patients undergoing resection...
Background: The treatment of lung cancer depends on histological and/or cytological evaluation the mediastinal lymph nodes. Endobronchial ultrasound/transbronchial needle aspiration-biopsy (EBUS/TBNA-TBNB) is only minimally invasive technique for a diagnostic exploration mediastinum. aim this study to analyze reliability EBUS in preoperative staging non-small cell (NSCLC). Methods: A prospective was conducted from December 2019 2022 217 NSCLC patients, who underwent using EBUS/TBNA-TBNB...
Despite greater appreciation for the importance of frailty in surgical patients, due to improved understanding that is often linked poor outcomes, optimal method assessment remains unknown. In this study, we sought evaluate prevalence patients considered elective thoracic surgery and test ability several measurements predict postoperative outcomes.
Background: The acceptance of uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (U-VATS) for procedures has been growing worldwide. This study reports one the widest Italian U-VATS experiences. Methods: prospectively collected data 237 patients underwent a procedure, between May 2016 and September 2017, were retrospectively reviewed. A wide range procedures, like major minor lung resections, esophageal surgery, pleural mediastinal one, was performed. main aim evaluating general outcomes in terms...
This study aims to identify clinical and surgical risk factors for chronic chest pain paresthesia after video thoracoscopic surgery primary spontaneous pneumothorax.We retrospectively collected the data of 1,178 consecutive patients <40-years-old undergoing pneumothorax in 9 Italian centers 2007-2017. Cases with <2-month follow-up were excluded, leaving 920 [80% male; median age: 21 (IQR, 18-27) years] statistical analysis. The following assessed by univariable multivariable Cox regression...
Multiportal thoracoscopic approach is already a well standardized procedure for minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE); conversely very few reports have been published about uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) technique till now. We present our preliminary experience with VATS esophagectomy, evaluating short-term outcomes as perioperative mortality, complications, oncological radicality, postoperative pain and cosmetic results.From December 2016 to November 2017, the...
Abstract SARS-CoV2 outbreak led to several healthcare system challenges, especially concerning respiratory support Covid-19 patients. In the first 2 years of pandemic (2020–2021), we assisted a marked increase post-invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) tracheal stenosis incidence, many them requiring surgical treatment, namely resection and primary end-to-end anastomosis. Our aim is describe our experience during abovementioned biennium, focusing on postoperative outcomes patients who have...
