Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery Without Intraoperative Fluoroscopy After Microcoil Localization.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2023
Department of Radiology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio.
Background: Small nodules and ground-glass opacities can present a challenge when surgeons rely on direct visualization or digital palpation. Preoperative localization improves nodule detection. We aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) nodulectomy without intraoperative fluoroscopy after computed tomography (CT)-guided microcoil localization of peripheral pulmonary nodules.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama.
Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rapidly progressive and highly morbid disease commonly found in immunosuppressed patients. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential, with thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery techniques previously described for surgical resection of infected lobes. Here we present the case of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia and nonresolving pneumonia treated with robotic left upper lobectomy.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
June 2024
Thoracic Surgery Unit, University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Naples, Italy.
Background: Paravertebral block (PVB) is effective in controlling postoperative pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy but is subject to a high rate of failure because of incorrect site of injection. We compared methylene blue PVB with thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) for postoperative pain after VATS lobectomy.
Methods: We conducted a prospective randomized trial of patients undergoing VATS lobectomy; 120 patients were randomly assigned to the PVB or TEA group.
Utilising uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pericardial window: A 12-year single-centre experience in the diagnosis and treatment of pericardial effusion.
J Minim Access Surg
January 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Atilim University, Ankara, Turkey.
Introduction: Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (Uni-VATS) is an effective minimally invasive technique for pericardial drainage, biopsy and window creation in cases of pericardial effusion (PE).
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 73 patients with PE who underwent pericardial window procedures between 2012 and 2024. Intraoperative and post-operative data related to Uni-VATS were assessed.
Rupture of the staple suture site after stapling the right inferior pulmonary vein with double rows of staples: a case report.
Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Cases
January 2025
Department of Surgery II, Faculty of Medicine, Yamagata University, Yamagata, Japan.
Background: With advancements in minimally invasive thoracic surgery techniques, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and robotic surgery, the design of vascular staplers has evolved to meet the requirements of these procedures. Consequently, newer generations of automatic staplers with improved handling and reduced size have been introduced, such as two-row staplers, which are more maneuverable and less bulky than their three-row counterparts.
Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man with lung cancer underwent a right middle and lower lobectomy due to tumor invasion into the central middle bronchial trunk, rendering the preservation of the middle lobe impossible.
