To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of continuous erector spinae plane block(c-ESPB) and serratus anterior block(c-SAPB) versus intercostal nerve block (ICNB) in Uniportal-VATS terms pain control, drug consumption, complications.
Background: Endoscopic thoracic sympathetic chain clipping (ETSC) is a definitive treatment for primary palmar and/or axillary hyperhidrosis (PPAH); however, compensatory sweating (CS) remains feared complication. The aims of this study were to investigate the factors associated with CS and satisfaction evaluate post-operative quality life (QoL). Methods: From January 2011 August 2023, 180 patients who had undergone two-stage ETSC prospectively asked complete pre- questionnaires on...
Background: Emphysema is a chronic lung disease characterized by alveolar wall destruction, leading to impaired gas exchange. Giant bullous emphysema (GBE) severe form of emphysema, often requiring surgical intervention. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) minimally invasive approach for various thoracic pathologies, including volume reduction (LVRS) and bullectomy emphysematous bullae. Uniportal VATS (U–VATS), further refinement, offers benefits such as reduced postoperative pain...
This study aims to define the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of non-predominant lepidic invasive adenocarcinoma presenting as Ground Glass Opacity (GGO) nodules. The goal is assess statistical relationships between histology, tumor size, location, incidence relapse lymph node dissemination. A retrospective multicenter was conducted, including patients with GGO observed on CT scans 2003 2021. Anamnestic, radiological, histological data, well SUV values, lymphatic vascular...
The aim of this study is to compare two positioning techniques 12-French (Fr) thoracic drains in terms efficacy, safety, and patient comfort.This a prospective, non-randomized, competitive, non-inferiority comparing the Seldinger vs. Trocar technique. primary endpoint was an analysis factors that led unsuccessful drainage positioning. Between groups, clinical variables, procedure times, pain, complications were compared.Seventy-two patients enrolled group 1 (Seldinger) 45 2 (Trocar). mean...
Alveolo-pleural fistula remains a serious post-operative complication in lung cancer patients after surgery, which is associated with prolonged hospital stay and higher healthcare costs. The aim of this study to evaluate the efficacy polyglycol acid (PGA)-sheet known as Neoveil preventing air-leak cases detected intra-operative resection. Between 11/2021 7/2022, total 329 non-small cell (NSCLC) were surgically treated two institutions. Major resections performed 251 cases. Among them, 44...
The advantages of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) are well-recognized in several studies. However, the cases advanced lung cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT), role VATS is still questionable, with concerns about safety, technical feasibility, and oncological completeness. aim this study was to assess impact nCT on patients who had undergone uniportal (U-VATS) anatomic resections for cancer, by comparing short-term outcomes case-matched counterparts (treated alone). We...
Our case presents a unique occurrence marking the first documentation of connection between typical carcinoid in context diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) and vascular anomalies, including right-sided aortic arch with Kommerell's diverticulum. diverticulum is rare congenital anomaly. The lusoria subclavian artery, another developmental anomaly, arises from right instead left side. Neuroendocrine cells may contribute to lung disease pathogenesis by...
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare malignancy of mesenchymal origin medium-low grade with tendency to local recurrences but not distant metastases. We present the case 37-year-old male who underwent surgical resection 1.2 cm DFSP lesion on left shoulder in May 2020. In absence standardized follow-up protocol for DFSP, attending physician opted ultrasound monitoring every six months detect any recurrences. Due chest pain and mild exertional dyspnea, CT scan was performed three...
According to the different classifications now in use, thymic tumours are staged by extent of local invasiveness, and tumour size is not included as a major determinant for T category. The aim this double-site retrospective study analyse correlation between dimension overall survival (OS) patients who underwent surgical treatment. From January 2000 December 2020, with epithelial resection were study. Data from total 332 analysed. Five- ten-year (5–10 YOS) was 89.26% 87.08%, respectively,...
