Basing on the literature and the observations of their own data analysis, the authors suggest, that pleurectomy constitutes a reconstructive-restoration operation. Nevertheless, this procedure, due to its complexity and traumatism, not infrequently is complicated by various intraoperative complications, in particular, the life threatening--in 1.1% observations and dangerous for health--in 13.8%. The methods of prevention and overcoming of possible complications are determined.

Anaesthetic and perioperative considerations for extrapleural pneumonectomy and extended pleurectomy/decortication: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) and extended pleurectomy/decortication (ePD) are surgical cytoreductive techniques aimed at achieving macroscopic resection in malignant pleural tumours such as pleural mesothelioma, non-mesothelioma pleural malignancies such as thymoma and sarcoma, and rarely for pleural tuberculosis, in a more limited fashion. Despite extensive studies on both surgical techniques and consequences, a significant knowledge gap remains regarding how best to approach the perioperative anaesthesia challenges for EPP and ePD.It is unknown if the risk stratification processes for such surgeries are standardised or what types of functional and dynamic cardiac and pulmonary tests are employed preoperatively to assist in the perioperative risk stratification.

Extended pleurectomy-decortication is a cytoreductive surgical treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma. Prolonged air leak remains a major postoperative challenge, lengthening hospital stay and increasing morbidity. In this video report, we present a stepwise approach for visceral decortication and introduce the concept of aerostasis by construction of an artificial neopleura.

A recent study showed that thoracic epidural block (TEB) suppressed the occurrence of major complications after pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) under general anesthesia. To investigate the mechanisms underlying the correlation, both acute inflammatory status and intraoperative nociception were evaluated in the present study. In a single-institutional observational study, consecutive adult patients undergoing P/D were enrolled from March 2019 to April 2022.

Mesothelioma has a scant prognosis and a great impact on symptoms and the quality of life. Pleurectomy/decortication and extrapleural pneumonectomy are the two cytoreductive surgical strategies, with different invasiveness, but achieving similar oncological results. Hereafter, the two surgical procedures effects on symptoms and the quality of life are compared in a high symptom-burden population.

Background: We used GORE DUALMESH for the reconstruction of diaphragms in patients with thoracic malignancies. Here, we report the results.
Methods: Between July 2015 and August 2017, diaphragm reconstruction using 2-mm GORE DUALMESH was performed in 7 patients undergoing surgical resection for thoracic malignancies.
