mediastinal tracheostomy is a complex surgical procedure for the management of airway reconstruction in patients whose distal trachea is not sufficiently long to be reconstructed as cervical tracheostomy after tracheal resection for malignant diseases. in this article (study), we present our 10 year experience of this uncommon procedure in thoracic surgery ward of imam khomeini's hospital, tehr...

background: when we perform surgery in utero, lungs have an appropriate time to decrease magnitude of hypoplasia, with surgery in uterus. methods: six time-dated single-fetus ewes were selected to induce diaphragmatic hernia. fetal lambs were divided proportionally into 2 groups, namely group 1, diaphragmatic hernia and tracheal ligation (tl group), and group 2, diaphragmatic hernia only (nl gr...

patients and methods this blinded clinical trial was performed on 60 patients admitted to icu following cabg. patients intubated and those under mechanical ventilation were unable to report their pain. the study population was randomly divided into two groups of control and music intervention groups (preferred music listening). in the intervention group, preferred music (including classical, in...

Background: Primary tracheal tumors are very rare, surgical treatment is the first choice, and extent of resection anastomosis determined by location, shape size pathological result tumor. With rapid development minimally invasive techniques instruments in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, but surgery usually considered to be most challenging complex thoracic which requires not only extraor...

Post-intubation tracheal stenosis accounts for the greatest proportion of whole-cause tracheal stenosis. Treatment of post-intubation tracheal stenosis requires a multidisciplinary approach. Surgery or an endoscopic procedure can be used, depending on the type of stenosis. However, the efficacy of cryotherapy in post-intubation tracheal stenosis has not been validated. Here, we report a case of...

introduction: tracheal stenosis is normally caused by trauma, infection, benign and malignant tumors, prolonged intubation or tracheostomy. the best treatment for tracheal stenosis is resection and anastomosis of trachea. yet the major surgical complication of tracheal surgery is postoperative stenosis. the goal of this paper is to study the result of tracheal stenting as a replacement therapy ...

introduction: postoperative sore throat is a common complaint in patients with endotracheal intubation and has potentially dangerous complications. this randomized controlled trial study investigated the incidence of postoperative sore throat after general anesthesia when betamethasone gel is applied to a tracheal tube compared with when iv dexamethasone is prescribed.   materials and methods: ...
