Background: The intricate anatomical variations in lung structure often perplex thoracic surgeons, and the accurate identification of these variations is closely associated with favorable surgical outcomes.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old female patient who underwent computed tomography (CT) examination due to chest discomfort, revealing the presence of a partial solid nodule highly suspected of early-stage lung cancer, measuring approximately 2.8 × 2.

Women surgeons carry a disproportionate share of family responsibilities, contributing to their lower representation in positions of leader- ship and influence. Policies protecting reproductive rights and mandating paid family leave (PFL) boost women's participation and productivity in the workplace.

Purpose: While surgical intervention of scoliosis in cerebral palsy (CP) patients has shown notable improvements in quality of life, the high risk of post-operative complications in CP patients necessitates careful preoperative optimization. A preoperative multidisciplinary (Multi-D) pathway at our tertiary pediatric hospital in effect since 2014 led to a significant reduction in mortality at one year. However, such a strategy delays surgery, potentially increasing the risk of curve progression.

Background: Anesthetic management of a patient with multiple giant bullae is generally difficult due to an increased risk of respiratory complications, and there is no consensus regarding safe extubation methods. We report a case of an effective use of a supraglottic airway (i-gel™) during emergence from anesthesia in a patient with multiple giant bullae, in whom a double-lumen bronchial tube was being used during anesthesia.
Case Presentation: A 52-year-old man with multiple giant bullae underwent video-assisted pulmonary resections, while the ventilation was controlled via a double-lumen bronchial tube.

Introduction Postoperative complications, such as surgical site infection and postoperative pneumonia, may be caused by oral bacteria. This study aimed to clarify the factors related to the bacterial count in the saliva of postoperative patients so as to standardize oral management methods before and after surgery. Methods This prospective observational study enrolled 54 patients who underwent major oncologic or cardiac surgery.
