Abstract Background Thoracic ossification of ligamentum flavum (T-OLF), as one the causes thoracic myelopathy, is often combined with other spinal disorders. Concurrent lumbar canal stenosis (LCS) obscured by symptoms due to T-OLF, leading difficulty in identifying origin these neurological findings. It common be misdiagnosed or delayed diagnosis complicated nature. We evaluated prevalence, dis...

Background: Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has become widely used for mediastinal procedures since 2018 when it was included in insurance coverage Japan. Few studies have compared the surgical outcomes of RATS with more established video-assisted (VATS) approach to surgery. We aimed compare perioperative VATS and examine advantages a single institutional cohort.

Thoracic irradiation historically plays a strong role in the management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Though surgery is the mainstay of early-stage (I and II) disease, adjuvant radiation therapy confers better local control than surgery alone in advanced disease (III). Combining chemotherapy with radiation can help decrease systemic tumor burden and confer an overall survival advantage...

results: among 11 patients who underwent surgery consisted of eight males and three females. their metastasis originated from testis tumors (n = 5), renal cell carcinoma (rcc; n = 4), bladder tumor (n = 1), and prostate cancer (n = 1). their mean age was 41.27 years (range, 21-67). the mean age of the patients with rcc and testis tumor at the time of diagnosing metastasis was 54 and 24.8 years,...

Background: Thoracic extension of Pseudomyxoma peritonei can occur via trans-diaphragmatic spread of abdominal disease. Cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative intrapleural chemotherapy may prolong survival in an otherwise terminal condition. We evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients undergoing thoracic cytoreductive surgery and intrathoracic intraoperative chemotherapy for pleural exten...

Mycotic aneurysms are localized and irreversible dilatations of the arteries caused by weakening and damaging the arterial wall by an invasive organism establishing infective arteritis. Mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a rare event; however, it can be fatal if not diagnosed early or not treated appropriately. Clinical findings are usually nonspecific; however, c...
