Background: Pulmonary circulation typically shows flow divided between the right and left lungs, with a marked predominance of lung. Pneumonectomy reduces pulmonary by ~50%, irreversibly changing perfusion characteristics. Here we assessed after pneumonectomy investigated how selected factors influenced in this patient group. Methods: This study included 31 patients who underwent complicated postpneumonectomy pleural empyema, which was successfully treated, long-term survival. Testing...
TEA (thoracic epidural analgesia) is considered a basic method of analgesia used in thoracic surgeries. PVB (paravertebral block) an alternative method. The thesis compares effectiveness both methods postoperative with particular focus on assessment the pain management quality. study involved 2 groups patients, each consisting 30 patients undergoing posterolateral thoracotomy. group anesthetized applying method, while control TEA. Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters as well severity...
Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Exposure to environmental and occupational carcinogens an important lung cancer. One these substances chromium, which found ubiquitously across planet. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified chromium(VI) as a human carcinogen. aim this study was assess whether serum chromium levels, well DNA variants in selected genes involved carcinogenesis, xenobiotic-metabolism, oxidative stress could be...

Lung transplantation is a method useful in such non-malignant end-stage parenchymal and vascular diseases as: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic interstitial fibrosis, cystic or primary hypertension. The main aim of this procedure to extend the patient's lifespan quality life. However, availability operation limited by organ access. In paper we present case 58-year-old female fourth stage COPD, who was classified have single lung transplantation. Because some technical...

Postpneumonectomy empyema (PPE) is life-threatening morbidity that affects up to 10% of patients and carries a 9-13% mortality risk. Treatment can take long time, the prognosis uncertain. Forty years ago, improved survival was reported among with lung cancer pleural compared those no empyema. Here we investigated this potential association PPE. The present study included 38 who underwent pneumonectomy between 1995-2007 (7 females, 31 males, median age 62 years) then developed PPE, which...
Objectives: Postpneumonectomy empyema (PPE) is a life-threatening morbidity. PPE affects 1-10% of patients with 9-13% mortality risk. Treatment long and prognosis unsure. Phenomenon survival benefit in the group lung cancer pleural was described 40 years ago. We tried to asses this kind relationship group. Methods: The study involved 38 who underwent pneumonectomy followed by from 1995 2007 (7 females, 31 males, median age 62). Thirty-five were diagnosed as (non-small-cell - NSCLC)....
Mediastinal fibromatosis is a very rare mesenchymal tumor originated from fibrous tissue. A case of 26-year old men with mediastinal causes respiratory insufficiency and dysphagia described. This sympthoms occured due to esophageal impression infiltration occlusion main left bronchus by tumor. Ethiology the was established based on histopathology assesment tissue samples taken during explorative thoracotomy after 3 years many other diagnostic procedures undertaken. The authors describe...
The aim of this study was to compare pressure resistance the most common methods vessel occlusion during thoracic surgical procedures: ligations, clips, and vascular endostaplers.Pulmonary vessels were obtained routine surgeries. A ball-tipped cannula inserted through an opening in side wall secured with a linen ligature from slipping out. Subsequently, saline infused into vessel. We recorded on which leakage occurred.A total 65 vessels, divided between 3 groups, enrolled study. In...
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a congenital anomaly that involves the mirror rearrangement of thoracic and abdominal internal organs.

The underwent segmentectomy mediastinal hilar lymphadenectomy. Furthermore, screened PubMed Embase databases reports patients SIT cancer. Articles...
