Management of anastomotic leaks after oesophagectomy and gastric pull-up.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic and surgical intervention in treating anastomotic leaks after oesophagectomy.

Background: Anastomotic leak after oesophagectomy is a severe complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyse our experience with the management of anastomotic leak after oesophagectomy.

Uniportal thoracoscopic sublobar anatomical resections for small pulmonary nodules.

Objectives: The study aims to compare the thoracoscopic lobectomy and segmentectomy outcomes.

Background: Lobectomy is considered the standard treatment method for operable non-small cell lung cancer. Recent studies have suggested that segmentectomy seems to be an acceptable alternative to lobectomy for surgical management of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Bilateral thoracoscopic cardiac sympathetic denervation in patients with refractory ventricular tachyarrhythmias non‑responsive to other treatment.

Objectives:  To explore the efficacy and safety of bilateral thoracoscopic cardiac sympathetic denervation (BTCSD) as an underutilised last‑resort surgical technique for patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias and electrical storm non-responsive to other treatment.

Background:  Patients with refractory ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and electrical storm are at high risk of sudden cardiac death. In some patients, suboptimal results are achieved despite treatment with anti-arrhythmic drugs, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and cardiac catheter ablation.

Tracheal resection and modified T-tube in the treatment of benign tracheal stenosis. A retrospective study of 48 patients.

Objective: The objective was to prove efficiency of tracheal resection in the cohort of patients of our clinic and to introduce our own modification of T-cannula as a surgical alternative if tracheal resection is contraindicated.

Background: Benign tracheal stenosis, the most often represented by post tracheostomy (PTTS) and post intubation (PITS) stenosis, is a rare, but serious and potentially life-threatening medical condition. We present our experience with the management of the patients, who were referred with a benign tracheal stenosis.

Surgical treatment of descending necrotising mediastinitis caused by odontogenic infection: a retrospective analysis of 20 patients.

Objectives: Analysing the results of patients with odontogenic descending necrotising mediastinitis (DNM) treated predominantly by transcervical approach.

Background: Odontogenic DNM is a rare but serious complication of dental disease and dental procedures.

Methods: Retrospective evaluation of 20 patients who underwent surgery for odontogenic DNM.
