Background: Esophageal perforation or postoperative leak after esophageal surgery remain a life-threatening condition. The optimal management strategy is still unclear.
Aim: To determine clinical outcomes and complications of our 15-year experience in the multidisciplinary management of esophageal perforations and anastomotic leaks.
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare malignancy of mesenchymal origin of medium-low grade with a tendency to local recurrences but not to distant metastases. We present the case of a 37-year-old male who underwent surgical resection of a 1.2 cm DFSP lesion on the left shoulder in May 2020.

- Pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) is effective for treating oligometastatic cancer and aims to preserve lung function and quality of life through a lung-sparing surgical approach.
- The manuscript discusses the authors' experience with a unique technique called uniportal laser-assisted VATS (U-LA-VATS) for PM, emphasizing the use of specialized laser equipment and tools during the procedure.
- Out of 98 patients who had PM between March 2021 and November 2023, 24 were treated with the laser-assisted method, with the study presenting their results and comparing them to existing literature on the topic.
