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.

[Eating attitudes among Hungarian adolescents].

Introduction: According to the literature, mentalizing difficulties and insecure emotional attachment styles occur more frequently among adolescents with eating disorders. The role of mentalization in the relationship between emotional attachment styles and eating attitudes has not been investigated among Hungarian adolescents.

Objective: We investigated the relationship between mentalization, emotional attachment and eating attitudes among adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age.

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.

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.

Complicated case of patient with cervical necrotising fasciitis and descending necrotizing mediastinitis case report.

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis is a severe, fulminant, life-threatening bacterial infection of the mediastinum. Even though improvements in diagnostics and treatment were achieved, the mortality rate remain shigh. Contrast-enhanced CT of chest and neck is the diagnostic gold standard.

“Maximal” minimally invasive thymectomy in patients with Nonthymomatous Myasthenia Gravis - short-term results over a 10year period - retrospective study.

Introduction: Thymectomy has always been considered an important treatment modality for patients with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). Because of the absence of randomized trials, its exact role was not clear and was even questioned by some. Indications for surgery were made on empirical basis.

Management of oesophageal anastomosis dehiscence after oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer.

Oesophagectomy is being used in treatment of several oesophageal diseases, most commonly in treatment of oesophageal cancer. It is a major surgical procedure that may result in various complications. One of the most severe complications is anastomotic dehiscence between the gastric conduit and the oesophageal remnant.

Unexpected finding of an ablation catheter during thoracoscopic exploration for a spontaneous hemothorax - case report.

Varicose veins of lower extremities represent a common medical condition with minimally invasive percutaneous endovenous ablation techniques as a treatment of choice. A very rare complication is a catheter migration in the deep venous system. In the literature only 7 cases have been published so far, with only 2 cases with migration to the systemic circulation and heart involvement.

[Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and biopsy of the sentinel lymph node].

Introduction: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the disease with increasing incidence. Nowadays, approximately 80% DCIS are diagnosed via mammography and represent more than 20% of all types of breast cancer. The acceptance of surgical procedures with this type of breast carcinoma is controversial as primary diagnosis of non-invasive carcinoma is often underestimated and in the end, histopathological examination reveals invasive carcinoma with biological potential to metastasize.
