BackgroundPersistent air leak (PAL) is a challenging problem in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax and chronic lung disease who are poor surgical candidates. Conventional management consists of long-term thoracostomy tube placement; however, some cases, unable to leave the hospital because need for continuous negative pressure. We investigated application endobronchial valves (EBVs) whom intervention was contraindicated.MethodsEBVs were placed PALs arising from nonoperative causes....

Background: Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon, benign, congenital skeletal anomaly of failed bone maturation. There no treatment to prevent systemic disease progression, and medical therapy focuses on maintaining adequate density. Surgical utilized for pathologic fractures, symptomatic lesions, significant deformities. We present a case robotic-assisted rib resection lesion secondary fibrous with minimally invasive transection extraction techniques using high-speed drill. Case Description: A...

The purpose of this report is to demonstrate robotic cryoablation an atrial myxoma stalk as a method prevent recurrence and preserve tissue. A 38-year-old female patient was taken the operating room, abutting left inferior pulmonary vein resected robotically. This followed by tumor instead full-thickness resection extensive reconstruction. operation resulted in successful with minimal length stay. Follow-up at 3 months has shown no evidence residual or recurrent tumor. 1 year planned....
