The development of a video assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy (VATS-L) program provides dedicated surgical team with recognized learning curve (LC) 50 procedures. We analyse the results our program, comparing LC subsequent cases.From June 2012 to March 2015, we performed n = 146 VATS major pulmonary resections: (Group A: LC); 96 B). Pre-operative mediastinal staging followed National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. All procedures were using standard anterior approach hilum;...
Post-intubation tracheal laceration (PITL) is a rare condition (0.005% of intubations). The treatment choice has traditionally been surgical repair. Following our first report in 2010 protocol tailored to risk-stratified morphological classification there now clear evidence that conservative therapy represents the gold standard majority patients. In this paper we aim validate through largest ever reported series patients.This retrospective analysis based on prospectively collected...
Recent guidelines support the use of thoracoscopic surgery in stage II-III empyema; however, there is still debate regarding best surgical approach. The aim our study to compare postoperative outcomes VATS and open approaches for treatment post-pneumonic empyema. Observational cohort on prospectively collected cases empyema surgically treated a single center (2000-2020). Patients were divided into an group (OT, posterolateral muscle sparing thoracotomy) (VT, 2 or 3 port ± utility incision)....
We present our experience with uniportal videothoracoscopic surgery (VATS-U), examining its indications, limits, and results.Since January 2009, 66 patients underwent VATS-U for the following indications: pneumothorax (n = 25), lung nodule 15; n 10 preoperative radiolocalization), wedge biopsy 15), hyperhidrosis 10), chest wall schwannoma 1). The conversion rate to conventional video-assisted thoracic (VATS), postoperative pain, complications, residual paraesthesia, hospitalization were...
Abstract: Nowadays the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that invades chest wall is still questioned. The classic approach a lobectomy requires resection through thoracotomy, but thanks to progress in field thoracoscopic surgery, this procedure can be performed by video-assisted surgery (VATS). Major advances have been made recent years both surgical technique associated thoracoscopy and instrumentation available today. This has allowed use even advanced disease....
Introduction: Malignant solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura (mSFTP) are extremely rare diseases (<5% all pleural neoplasms) with unpredictable behaviour. Surgery remains standard care for these tumours; however, estimating patient prognosis and planning follow-up remain challenging. Several risk stratification models have been proposed, but a classification diagnostic prognostic potential has not well standardised yet. The aim this study was to analyse clinicopathological data mSFTP...
To assess if video-mediastinoscopy (VM) with frozen sections (FS) combined a video-assisted thoracic surgery major pulmonary resection (VMPRS) is able to improve VATS mediastinal intraoperative staging.From June 2012 March 2015 total of 146 patients underwent VMPRS lymphadenectomy. NCCN guidelines were followed for pre-operative staging, including VM FS in 27 (19%). Procedural time, dissected nodal stations, complications related and lymphadenectomy definitive histology, evaluated.Operative...
Abstract: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a frequent clinical problem, affecting 15% of patients with cancer. It frequently confers poor prognosis and causes numerous oppressive symptoms as dyspnoea, dry cough pain. Several different approaches have been proposed to manage MPE relieve patients' symptoms. The selected approach depends on predicted patient survival (LENT or PROMISE SCORE), preferences availability the techniques. Repeated thoracentesis, chemical pleurodesis via chest tube...
This paper presents the outcomes of employing inferiorly based rotated sternocleidomastoid muscle flap in complex tracheal reconstruction/repair scenarios, focusing on key objectives ensuring stable airway, functional digestive tract and patient survival.
