Recurrences of thymoma are described in 10–30% cases up to 10 years after surgical resection. Herein we report our experience with removal pleural recurrences followed by hyperthermic intrathoracic perfusion chemotherapy (HITHOC). We prospectively collected data patients recurrence who underwent surgery HITHOC. After thoracotomy had been closed, drainages were connected a dedicated machine, space was filled saline solution, progressively heated 42.5°C. At this time, chemotherapeutic agents...
Recurrence of thymoma is described in 10-30% cases after surgical resection. Iterative surgery for pleural relapses (TPRs) often part a multimodal treatment. Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) following macroscopic radical an option that combines the effects mild hyperthermia with those chemotherapeutic agents. We evaluated effectiveness + HITHOC, compared alone, treatment TPR.We retrospectively collected data all patients who underwent TPR our centre from 2005 to 2017....
Postoperative air leaks associated with residual pleural space is a well known complication contributing to prolong hospitalization. Many techniques have been proposed for the treatment of this complication. Between 1999 and 2009, 39 patients (>3 cm at chest X-ray) persisting over three days after major lung resection were enrolled in study. All treated combined pneumoperitoneum autologus blood patch. Pneumoperitoneum obtained by injection 30 ml/kg under diaphragm, using Verres needle...
During the past 20 years, use of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has increased as an important minimally invasive tool. To further reduce its invasiveness, after a preliminary experience, we decided to nonintubated spontaneous breathing general anesthesia, for resection lung nodule, using laryngeal mask (LMA). This study aimed verify safety and feasibility this technique.Twenty consecutive patients who underwent wedge nodule under anesthesia with LMA are subjects study. Clinical data,...
The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) recently proposed a change in staging system N2, based on metastatic station number: N2a1 (a single with no hilar involvement), N2a2 involvement) and N2b (multiple stations). aim our study was to validate IASLC proposal cohort patients pathological N2 disease. All T1–T2 non-small-cell lung cancer who were operated between 2006 2010 department enrolled. had lobectomy, bilobectomy or pneumonectomy without induction therapy; any...
Abstract Background and Objectives The Masoka‐Koga tumor node metastases staging systems for thymoma are based on structures involved, but the prognostic role of number infiltrated/involved is still debated. We analyzed involved their combinations in locally advanced thymomas patients. Methods Data 174 surgically treated patients from 1/01/1990 to 31/12/2015 were reviewed. Clinical pathological characteristic, structures, different correlated cancer specific survival (CSS) using Kaplan–Meier...
Objectives: Recurrences of thymoma are described in 10–40% cases up to 10 years after surgical resection. Herein we report our experience with removal pleural recurrences followed by hyperthermic intrathoracic perfusion chemotherapy (HITHOC). Methods: We prospectively collected data patients recurrence who underwent surgery HITHOC. After thoracotomy was closed, drainages have been connected a dedicated machine, space filled saline solution, progressively heated 42.5°C. At this time...
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...
