. Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is now standard for lung cancer treatment, offering advantages over traditional methods. However, RATS's minimally invasive approach poses challenges like limited visibility and tactile feedback, affecting surgeons' navigation through com-plex anatomy. To enhance preoperative familiarization with patient-specific anatomy, we devel-oped a virtual reality (VR) surgical system. Using head-mounted displays (HMDs), this system provides comprehensive,...
Background
 Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has become the standard procedure for treating lung malignancy, offering numerous advantages over traditional methods. However, minimally invasive nature of RATS presents unique challenges, notably a limited field view and reduced tactile feedback surgeon. These limitations can significantly impact surgeon's ability to navigate complex anatomical structures during surgery. To address these we recognized need enhanced...
Although the cuff technique in rat lung transplantation (LTx) has a long history, it remains technically challenging. We have developed key tricks and modifications devices that optimize LTx model to achieve successful operations during short learning period.Altogether, 180 consecutive rats underwent orthotopic left performed by single surgeon using our modified procedures. Allogeneic syngeneic were Lewis as recipients Brown Norway donors. treated with cyclosporine first week. Recipients...
Palpation of tumors during thoracoscopic surgery remains difficult, and identification deep-seated may be impossible. This preclinical study investigated the usefulness a novel indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence spectroscopy system for tumor localization.ICG was diluted to 5.0×10-2 mg/mL in fetal bovine serum (FBS) mixed with silicone resin prepare pseudo-tumors. Sponges different densities porcine lung were placed on top pseudo-tumors, which examined using near-infrared (NIR) camera....
A simple and safe surgical technique for nonpalpable lung tumors: One-stop Solution a tumor, Marking, Resection, Confirmation of the margin in Hybrid operating room (OS-MRCH)
The current staging systems do not consider the tumor location of thymomas, and its clinical relevance is poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate impact on clinicopathological features prognosis thymomas.We performed a retrospective review patients at our institution who underwent an extended thymectomy for thymoma from 1976 2015. was classified as either superior or inferior mediastinum based maximum diameter. characteristics were also evaluated. Kaplan-Meier estimates Cox...
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) can be associated with life-threatening complications such as paradoxical embolization, cerebral abscess, and hemothorax. Therefore, all adults PAVMs should offered treatment. Percutaneous transcatheter embolization is the first-line treatment, but 5-25% of cases require further treatment due to persistence after embolization. Recently, role minimally invasive thoracic surgery a definitive has been evaluated. We describe case small peripheral...
Abstract: In the last few decades, reduced-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (RP-VATS) has been developed to minimize surgical invasiveness. Nevertheless, VATS in children can occasionally be difficult because lesion occupies a small cavity, limiting working space. This study aimed assess feasibility of RP-VATS for resection mediastinal lesions association with tumor-to-thoracic height ratio (TTH ratio). We reviewed all patients aged ≤10 years who underwent our institute between January...
No useful tumor markers have been identified for the diagnosis of thymic carcinomas. Serum cytokeratin 19 fragment, measured using CYFRA 21-1 immunoassay, is used as a marker squamous cell carcinomas in various malignant tumors. Here, we evaluated value diagnosing carcinoma.We retrospectively reviewed 94 patients with pathological diagnoses carcinoma or thymoma (32 and 62 patients, respectively) who were referred to our departments between January 2000 March 2019. Primary outcomes included...
Background: Intravenously administered indocyanine green (ICG) accumulates in lung tumors, facilitating their detection via a fluorescence spectrum measurement. This method aids identifying tumor locations that are invisible to the naked eye. We aim determine optimal ICG dose and administration for accurate identification during resection surgeries, utilizing novel spectroscopy system precise localization. Materials Methods: should be dissolved provided solution or distilled water...
Complete surgical resection has been considered the only curable treatment for thymoma. The efficacy of extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) stage IV thymomas remains controversial. In this case report, we utilize EPP recurrent thymoma with pleural dissemination and describe resulting outcome. A 39‐year‐old female a history thoracoscopic thymectomy type B2 was referred to our hospital recurrence dissemination. She underwent as radical surgery. Histopathological investigation revealed complete...
