Combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic repair of adult right-sided Bochdalek hernia with massive liver prolapse: A case report.

Background: A Bochdalek hernia (BH) is a congenital diaphragmatic hernia that often develops in the neonatal period. BH typically occurs on the left side of the diaphragm. A right-sided BH in an adult is rare.

Analysis of Thoracoscopic Enucleation Combined with Esophagoscopy in the Prone Position for Esophageal Submucosal Tumor.

Esophageal submucosal tumors (SMTs) are rare, occurring in less than 1% of esophageal neoplasms. For surgical treatment of esophageal SMTs, enucleation is usually the procedure of choice for benign tumors. This study aimed at evaluating the surgical technique and outcomes of thoracoscopic enucleation with esophagoscopy for esophageal SMTs.

Presentation of unruptured right gastric aneurysm due to segmental arterial mediolysis resected laparoscopically: A case report.

Introduction: Timely diagnosis and treatment of intra-abdominal arterial aneurysms before rupture are highly recommended. We successfully prevented rupture through arterial aneurysm excision, highlighting the importance of the lack of reports on resection before rupture.

Case Presentation: A 60-year-old male with previous history of ureteral stones presented complaining primarily of left-sided abdominal pain.

Thoracoscopic esophagectomy with subcarinal lymph node dissection in the prone position for esophageal cancer with a right top pulmonary vein.

The right top pulmonary vein (RTPV), a rare pulmonary vein (PV) variant draining the right upper lobe, arises independently from the right superior PV, travels posterior to the right bronchial tree and drains directly into the left atrium (LA) or another PV. We report an RTPV discovered on preoperative computed tomography (CT) scanning in a 60-y-old man who subsequently underwent prone thoracoscopic esophagectomy and subcarinal lymph node dissection. The preoperative CT scan showed an anomalous vessel 7.
