Posterior cricoid plate drill enlargement in idiopathic subglottic stenosis.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
December 2024
Objectives: Idiopathic subglottic stenosis(ISS) is an airway stricture between larynx and trachea, within 1 cm from the vocal cords. Resection-reconstruction presents technical issues because of the need to resect the anterior portion of the cricoid cartilage, but not the posterior plate beyond which the recurrent laryngeal nerves access the vocal cords. The main surgical challenge consists of the minute airway caliber short below the cords, ensuing after the resection.

- The MAJIS instrument on the JUICE spacecraft will study the surfaces and atmospheres of the Jupiter system by analyzing visible and infrared light.
- A calibration campaign was conducted before launch to gather necessary measurements for evaluating the instrument's performance, including signal-to-noise ratio and straylight effects.
- The paper details the setup and methods used for calibration and discusses the radiometric, geometric, and spectral properties measured, as well as challenges faced during the campaign.
The MAJIS (Moons and Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer) instrument is an imaging spectrometer on-board the JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) spacecraft. MAJIS covers the spectral range from 0.5 to 5.

Surgeons are often faced with the choice between innovation and self-confidence. The present study reports the experience of a high-volume single institute, comparing data of uni-portal, bi-portal and tri-portal VATS, to find out the safest and most effective mini-invasive approach, leading surgeon's choice.

Hereby we report the results of a 20-year experience from a high-volume center.
Methods: Carinal resection was performed in 41 patients for NSCLC (n = 32) or primary airway tumor (n = 9).
