In the era of minimally invasive surgery, preoperative detection pleural adhesions can be very useful for assessment surgical approach, because are main contraindication to video-assisted thoracoscopy. The aim this study was assess sensitivity and specificity transthoracic ultrasound in prior thoracic surgery. From February 2010 January 2011, 142 consecutive patients (male, 98; female, 44; age range, 36–83 years, mean age, 63.4 years) undergoing intervention (except pneumothorax) were...
Older lung cancer patients with multiple morbidities are increasingly referred to thoracic surgery departments. The aim of this multicenter study was analyse the prognostic factors for in-hospital morbidity and mortality elucidate predictors long-term survival oncological outcomes. We identified 319 aged ≥75 years who underwent intended curative resection in three different departments between January 2000 December 2010. Seventy-one limited resection, 202 had lobectomy, 16 bilobectomy 30...
Patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer infiltrating the left atrium (LA) or intrapericardial base of pulmonary veins (PVs) are generally not considered good candidates for surgery because poor long-term survival. In last 10 years, 31 consecutive patients directly invading LA PVs underwent surgery. Pneumonectomy was operation performed most frequently. In-hospital mortality 9.7% and overall morbidity 52%. One-, 2- 3-year survival rates were 64, 46 30%, respectively a mean...
SummaryThe efficacy of two treatment protocols with a low molecular weight heparin used for the prevention post-operative deep vein thrombosis was compared in 40 patients undergoing hip replacement surgery. The aim to assess whether dijferent timing — 2 hours before (Group A, 19 patients) or after B, 21 surgical operation first dose administered (1.5,000 aXaU) therapeutic cycle 7 days could affect results, both respect preventive and risk haemorrhage often connected antithrombotic therapy....
Extracorporeal CO 2 -removal devices have been introduced in clinical practice to provide protective and ultraprotective ventilation strategies different settings avoid retention of carbon dioxide. The need facilitate lung-protective is required not only for the treatment acute respiratory distress syndrome but also thoracic surgery during complex operations, especially compromised patients. This report describes a case giant bullectomy vanishing lung which intraoperative hypercapnia...
Through a prospective study, we evaluated the efficacy of an integrated autotransfusion regimen comprised predeposit-hemodiluition and intra post-operative blood salvage in major orthopaedic surgery.We examined records 2303 consecutive patients (1524 females 779 males, mean age 62.7, standard deviation 11 years (range 16-90 yrs), pre-operative haemoglobin (Hb) concentration 13.5 (SD 1.4) 6.7-19.3) g/dl undergong total hip arthroplasty (THA 1582 patients), THA after removal internal fixation...
Eggerthia catenaformis, a non-spore-forming anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus component of the human fecal microbiota has rarely been reported in diseases. In almost every case described current literature to date, dental diseases (abscesses, periodontitis, or caries), are most common source infection which extends brain, cervical spaces, pulmonary parenchyma, pleural cavity, abdominal wall, and cavity.An 82-year-old male Caucasian patient was admitted our Emergency Department (ED) with...
In order to avoid transfusion risks and optimize blood bank resources, in recent years many sparing techniques have been proposed, including severe haemodilution. The aim of this study is assess the pattern normal haemodynamic cardiac adaptation haemodilution patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery refusing transfusions for religious reasons (the were Jehovah's Witnesses). Two-dimensionally guided M-mode echocardiograms performed at baseline 4 days after 26 Witnesses (age 61 +/- 11...
Objectives: Not visible or non-palpable lesions of the chest wall remain a challenging situation for thoracic surgeons; therefore, resection large portion is often required to achieve free margin disease. Computer-based surgery and three-dimensional imaging technology associated with navigational systems are increasingly being used in experiment different surgical procedures. Video description: We report three cases metastatic that were surgically planned preoperatively intraoperatively...
Background Reconstruction of the chest wall after an anterior resection remains a difficult and controversial issue, therefore correct reconstruction these large resections is fundamental to avoid secondary complications. Different materials have been used reconstruct sternum, but none them are considered gold standard procedure. We propose new technique using sternal-allograft sternal resection.
