Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery for right intralobar pulmonary sequestration
Purpose: A pulmonary sequestration is an embryonic mass of lung tissue that has no identifiable bronchial communication. It is characterized by nonfunctional pulmonary parenchyma separated from the normal tracheobronchial tree and abnormal blood supply from the systemic circulation. Methods: We report a 61-year-old male with progressive chest distress and pain, recurrent pneumonia, was diagnose...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic resection for intralobar pulmonary sequestration: single modality treatment with video-assisted thoracic surgery.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic treatment of intralobar pulmonary sequestration in an obese (120 kg, body mass index 42) young man is described. Two aberrant arteries originating from the descending thoracic aorta were transected with a vascular stapler, and a left lower lobectomy was successfully performed thoracoscopically. Three-dimensional chest computed tomography was used to identify the abe...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracic surgery for bronchopulmonary sequestration.
Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung anomaly for which surgical resection is the definitive treatment. Open thoracotomy is the conventional approach, yet associated with considerable morbidity. We report one of the largest series of major lung resection for bronchopulmonary sequestration using the video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) approach that could reduce such morbidi...
متن کاملThe impact of thoracic surgical access on early shoulder function: video-assisted thoracic surgery versus posterolateral thoracotomy.
OBJECTIVE Whether video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is associated with less shoulder dysfunction when compared with posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT) remains unclear. We therefore conducted this prospective study to assess the shoulder function in patients following major lung resection using either the VATS or PLT approach. METHODS Twenty-nine consecutive patients were prospectively recr...
متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracic Surgery Major Pulmonary Resections
Video-Assisted Thoracic major pulmonary resections (VMPR) such as lobectomy, pneumonectomy and segmentectomy are rarely performed procedures, but steadily growing in popularity. Less than 4% of all lobectomies performed in the United Kingdom (UK)1 and less than 5% in the United States [1] and Europe [2] are performed this way. The surgeon’s knack, personal preference, and convictions about what...
