Severe Soft Tissue Loss on Dorsum of the Foot with Irreparable Hallucis Extensors: An Orthoplastic Reconstruction Case Report.

Case: A motorcycle accident resulted in severe soft tissue loss on the foot's dorsum with irreparable hallucis extensors, with exposure of the first metatarsal and hallux. An arthrodesis of the hallux interphalangeal joint, a transfer of the second toe's extensor digitorum longus, and an anterolateral thigh free flap were performed simultaneously. The patient obtained a fair result and could wear regular shoes.

Major Complications of Videomediastinoscopy and their Resolution - a 5 year experience.

Introduction: Videomediastinoscopy is an invasive procedure for mediastinal assessment, with low rates of morbidity and mortality. Despite the low risk of complications, they can be potentially lethal if not immediately controlled.

Objective: The goal of this study is to analyse the overall incidence of complications of videomediastinoscopies, performed in the last 5 years at our department, as well as their resolution and outcomes.

Severe Intraoperative Complications During VATS Anatomical Ressections and their Surgical Resolution in a Portuguese Thoracic Surgery Centre - A 9-Year Review.

Introduction: Many studies have demonstrated that video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is not only feasible and safe but is actually the approach chosen for an increasing number of pulmonary anatomic resections. There are however few studies reporting on severe intraoperative complications during VATS anatomical ressections and their resolution.

Objective: Our aim is to analyse the incidence of severe intraoperative complications during VATS anatomical ressections, at our department, in the past nine years, and describe their technical resolution during the surgery.
