The exact role and type of surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) remains controversial. This study aimed at analyzing a 20-year single center perioperative experience in MPM our high-volume thoracic comparing the overall survival after trimodal extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) extended pleurectomy decortication combined with hyperthermic intrathoracic chemoperfusion (EPD/HITOC) adjuvant chemotherapy that (CTx) alone.Patients epithelioid treated neoadjuvant chemotherapy, EPP...
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are rare vascular of the lungs. Direct communication pulmonary arteries to veins is defining characteristic allowing venous blood bypass capillary system and avoiding an efficient oxygenation process. The complexity pathology lies not only in variety its manifestations, but also choice most appropriate effective treatment. We present a case complex PAVM associated with persistent foramen ovale, stroke as onset symptom. Despite timely...
Background Immunotherapies targeting the programmed death receptor-1/programmed ligand-1(PD-1/PD-L1) checkpoint have a major impact on treatment of both resectable and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Additional blockade T-cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin tyrosine-based inhibition motif domain (TIGIT)-receptor may synergistically foster immune-related response. Several trials are currently investigating combination neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy dual prior to...
ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is increasingly becoming the preferred surgical method for resection of thymomas. We initiated current study to evaluate perioperative outcomes and early recurrence associated with approach. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, 35 patients were included in RATS group compared 29 who underwent open between 2010 2022 histologically confirmed large thymoma > 50 mm TNM Stages I, II, IIIa. Results Histologic subtypes pathologic...
Wettability, typically estimated through the contact angle, is a fundamental property of surfaces with wide-ranging implications in both daily life and industrial processes. Recent scientific interest has been paid to exhibiting extreme wettability: superhydrophobic superhydrophilic surfaces, characterized by high water repellency exceptional wetting, respectively. Both chemical composition morphology play role determination wettability “performance” surface. To tune surface-wetting...
Thoracic surgery is an expanding surgical specialty, but a shortage of qualified and motivated thoracic residents expected. It estimated that around 23 % all specialist jobs will be vacant by 2030. We therefore need to assess the current clinical situation urgently improve recruitment training our next generation surgeons. Using online survey (Lime Survey), questionnaire (28 questions) was created analyze nationwide residency in surgery. The sent postgraduate trainees departments Germany....
Background: The optimal thoracoscopic sympathetic surgery for primary palmar and/or axillary hyperhidrosis (PPAH) is still unclear because of lack uniform technique and qualitative/quantitative scales definition results. aims this study were to compare long-term outcomes based on the surgical level trunk interruption by clipping assess postoperative compensatory sweating (CS), patients’ satisfaction, quality life (QoL). Materials Methods: Between September 2009 April 2016, 94 patients who...
The Sauter mean diameter, d32, is a representative parameter in emulsions that indicates the average size of oil droplets once emulsion becomes stable. Several mathematical and physical approaches have been employed literature to seek expressions for d32 under different conditions. present work sheds light on this rich emphasizes characterization still fertile field investigation. In paper, new Π-theorem-based model predict normalized diameter specific case rotor-stator emulsification sought...
Ziel Lungensequester (PS) sind seltene -meist angeborene- Fehlbildungen der Lunge. Es handelt sich hierbei um funktionsloses Lungengewebe mit zuführendem Gefäß aus einer Systemarterie (v.a. thorakalen Aorta). Sie können zu schweren Symptomen wie Infektionen oder Hämoptysen führen. Bei symptomatischen Patienten ist die Operation Therapie Wahl. Bisher gibt es nur wenige Berichte über den Einsatz roboter-assistierten thorakoskopischen Chirurgie (RATS) in Kombination intraoperativer...
Hintergrund Die Zwerchfellraffung ist eine mögliche Therapieoption bei unilateralem symptomatischem Zwerchfellhochstand Zwerchfellparese. roboter-assistierte minimalinvasive (RATS) Operationstechnik stellt gute neue Alternative zur konventionell thorakoskopischen oder offenen Technik mit möglichen Vorteilen dar. Ziel der Studie war es, die Sicherheit und funktionellen Ergebnisse RATS-Zwerchfellraffung erstmals in einer prospektiven Registerstudie zu untersuchen.
OBJECTIVE Thoracic neurogenic tumors usually present as benign nerve sheath that can be resected via transthoracic or posterior approaches, depending on the anatomical location. Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is increasingly being used for approach, but evidence very limited. The authors initiated current study to evaluate efficacy and safety of RATS tumors. METHODS This retrospective based a prospectively created database includes all surgeries between 2018 2023. All patients with...

Hintergrund Wie in allen anderen chirurgischen Fächern zeichnet sich auch der Thoraxchirurgie ein Mangel an qualifizierten und motivierten AssistenzärztInnen ab. Innovative qualitativ hochwertige Medizin basiert jedoch auf einer strukturierten fundierten Ausbildung jungen Generation. In den letzten Jahren ist die Nachwuchsakquise daher zunehmend Fokus verschiedenen Fachgesellschaften gerückt.
