Middle Segmental Pancreatic Resection

Segmental resection in tuberculosis.

The total extirpation of the offending lesion and the preservation of as much normal lung tissue as possible are the major objectives in excislonal treatment of pulmonary disease. The increased use of limited resection represents the surgical approach to obtain these desirable objectives. For more than a decade, segmental resection has been accepted as a rational procedure especially in the tre...

Evaluation of Segmental Gastric Resection

Management of bronchial carcinoma by segmental resection.

Of 4,000 patients with bronchial carcinoma, a small peripheral tumour in 17 was managed by segmental resection because the lesion palpated at thoracotomy was thought to be tuberculous, because the segment in which the tumour lay was separated from adjacent lung by an anatomically complete fissure, or to avoid unnecessary limitation of an already diminished respiratory reserve. One patient died ...

Laser Segmental Resection for Pulmonary Tumors

The laser plays a significant role in the lung parenchyma sparing resection for pulmonary neoplasms. The high performance Nd: YAG laser system emitting the 1318 nm wavelength exclusively up to a power of 120 W was used, consisting of the thin flexible quartz fibres (400 μm) with low water content and a four lens focusing handpiece. The Nd:YAG 1318 nm wavelength laser system enables thoracic sur...

Intercalary segmental reconstruction after bone tumor resection.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Intercalary resection can be used for primary as well as metastatic tumors. Reconstruction options include vascularized fibula graft, interposition of an allograft, combination of vascularized fibula and allograft, segmental prosthesis, insertion of an extracorporally irradiated autograft, segmental transportation, either with external fixation or by using an intramedullary rod,...
