[Early postoperative results of sublobal lung resections performed with spontaneous ventilation combined with double lumen tube intubation. A new surgical method].

Introduction. Non-intubated spontaneous ventilated (NITS) minimally invasive surgery (video-assisted thoracic surgery VATS) is a widespread procedure, but there are some doubts regarding its safety. We developed a safe method, spontaneous ventilation with intubation (SVI) to resolve these concerns.

Laparoscopic-Assisted Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Reduces Major Complications in High-Risk Pediatric Patients.

Purpose: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a safe method to feed patients with feeding difficulty. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of conventional PEG and laparoscopic-assisted PEG (L-PEG) placement in high-risk pediatric patients.

Methods: In our tertiary pediatric department, 90 PEG insertions were performed between 2014 and 2019.

Internal Mammary Artery Compression After Pectus Excavatum Repair Does Not Increase Risk of Hemorrhagic Complications in Pediatric Patients.

Minimal invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) described by Nuss is the most popular correction nowadays of this deformity. During the introduction of the bars, they can hurt or compress the internal mammary arteries (IMA). The aim of this study was to observe the prevalence of IMA compression in children after MIRPE.

Adenocarcinoma arising from a foregut cyst of the diaphragm: importance of multimodality treatment: a case report.

Background: Benign foregut cysts usually develop in the thorax most of all in the mediastinum. Rare cases involving various abdominal organs, such as liver, stomach or pancreas have been previously published, mostly occurring in the retroperitoneum.

Case Presentation: We herein present an adenocarcinoma of a foregut cyst involving the left side of the diaphragm, left lower lobe of the lung, and left lobe of the liver, successfully removed through multivisceral resection.

Contemporary management strategies of blunt tracheobronchial injuries.

Background: Tracheobronchial injuries are rare but feasibly life-threatening conditions. A prompt diagnosis and early management can be lifesaving. Due to the unspecific symptoms and indirect radiological signs the diagnosis often delays.

Conversion method to manage surgical difficulties in non-intubated uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery for major lung resection: simple thoracotomy without intubation.

Background: The major limitations of widespread use of non-intubated thoracic surgery (NITS) is the fear of managing complications. Here we present our practice of converting from uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) NITS to open NITS in cases of surgical complications.

Methods: The study period was from January 26, 2017, to November 30, 2018.

[The role of an overinflated endotracheal tube in the diagnosis of tracheal injuries].

Tracheobronchial injury is an uncommon, but often life-threatening condition. It is mostly caused by blunt thoracic or neck trauma, difficult or prolonged intubation associated with nasogastric tube insertion. An early diagnosis and treatment can be lifesaver.

[Successful multidisciplinary management of tetraplegia with a thoracic operation. ].

Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disease the exact cause of which is not known. The diagnosis is based on the adequate histological examination. While in the unifocal form, the disease most commonly affects the chest, and symptoms may resolve as a result of intact excision of the tumour; other treatment methods may be performed in addition to or instead of surgical incision in the case of the multifocal form.

Surgical treatment of awn aspiration causing bronchopleural fistula and bronchiectasis: case reports.

Background: Aspiration of grass inflorescences is an extremely rare phenomenon with potential diagnostic difficulties. Due to its special shape, each coughing and respiratory action helps its migration towards the periphery of lung, resulting late-onset, life-threatening complications. The diagnosis has some difficulties for the reason that soon after the aspiration initial symptoms, such as coughing, wheezing or vomiting disappear and bronchoscopy is mostly negative.
