Uniportal thoracoscopic lobectomy for intralobar pulmonary sequestration.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital condition for which surgical resection is usually indicated - either via open thoracotomy or conventional multi-port Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). Of the two types of sequestration, intralobar sequestration is technically more challenging to resect. CASE PRESENTATION We report the management of a 34 year old male pati...
متن کاملThoracoscopic Lobectomy
Increasingly, evidence suggests that thoracoscopic lobectomy can be performed with similar, if not reduced, morbidity and equivalent oncologic outcomes when compared with open lobectomy [1-5]. Despite the potential advantages of minimally invasive surgery, only 20% of pulmonary resections are currently completed in the United States using the thoracoscopic technique [6]. There are still several...
متن کاملThoracoscopic lobectomy with mediastinal sampling in 80-year-old patients.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether thoracoscopy would allow standard lung cancer operations to be performed safely and completely in 80-year-old patients. Elderly patients with lung cancer are usually offered compromise treatment (either radiation or wedge resection) for early-stage lung cancer because their operative risk for lobectomy or pneumonectomy is increased. This study ...
متن کاملLearning thoracoscopic lobectomy.
OBJECTIVE Thoracoscopic (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)) lobectomy is a safe and effective method for treating early-stage lung cancer. Despite this, it is still not widely practised, which could be due to a shallow learning curve. We have evaluated the surgical outcome in a training programme at an institution with an established VATS lobectomy programme. We present the surgical d...
متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Lobectomy for Pulmonary Malignant Melanoma Metastasis.
Malign melanoma (MM) develops as a result of malign transformation of the melanocytes and constitutes 2-4% of all skin cancers, while being the most common cause of mortality among all skin cancers. In addition to other organs, distant organ metastases also include lung metastasis. A metastasectomy is an acceptable treatment option in cases of malign melanoma with isolated lung metastasis. The ...
