Accurate preoperative staging and restaging of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with potentially resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is paramount importance. In 2007, the European Society Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) published an algorithm on integrating imaging, endoscopic surgical techniques. 2009, International Association for Study Lung Cancer (IASLC) introduced a new node map. Some changes this map have important impact staging. Moreover, more evidence different technique has...

Background: We planned to investigate the effect of preoperative short period intensive physical therapy on lung functions, gas-exchange, and capacity diffusion, ventilation-perfusion distribution patients with non-small cell cancer.Methods: Sixty cancer, who were deemed operable, randomly allocated into two groups. Intensive was performed in study group before operation. Both groups received routine after operation.Results: There no difference pulmonary function tests between statistically...

Background: Insufficient relief of postthoracotomy pain is a major cause increased rates postoperative complications including inadequate coughing, mucous plugging, hypoxia, compromised ventilation or even bacterial lung infection. We aimed to assess the efficacy transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) in patients with pain. Methods: Forty scheduled undergo posterolateral thoracotomy were randomly allocated receive either TENS patient-controlled intravenous morphine. Postoperative...

The reconstruction of full-thickness chest wall defects is a challenging problem for thoracic surgeons, particularly after wide resection the that includes sternum. location and size defect play major role when selecting method reconstruction, while acceptable cosmetic functional results remain primary goal. Improvements in preoperative imaging techniques materials have an important planning performing with low morbidity rate. In this report, we describe anterior patient-specific custom-made...

A quarter of patients with clinical N1 (cN1) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging have occult mediastinal nodal involvement (N2 disease). In a prospective study, endosonography alone had an unsatisfactory sensitivity (38%) in detecting N2 disease. The current multicentre trial investigated the preoperative staging by video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) or VAM-lymphadenectomy (VAMLA). Consecutive operable and resectable...

Background: Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has seen increasing interest in the last few years, with most procedures primarily being performed conventional multiport manner. Our team developed a new approach that potential to convert surgeons from uniportal video-assisted (VATS) or open robotic-assisted surgery, uniportal-RATS (U-RATS). We aimed evaluate outcomes of one single incision, (OSI-RATS) against standard RATS (M-RATS) regards safety, feasibility, surgical technique,...

Stage has been defined as the major prognostic factor in resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there is some evidence that indicates season of operation could play a role survival patients. Between January 1995 and June 2008, 698 (621 men 77 women) patients who had undergone pulmonary resection for NSCLC were evaluated. Patients analysed according to surgical-pathological stages month year which they operated. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism was also 62 The median time...
