Background: To summarize the results of extended resection of the heart, great vessels, or both in the treatment of 349 patients with locally advanced lung cancer.
Methods: From February , 1983 to December, 2000, lobectomy or pneumonectomy combined with extended resection of the heart, great vessels or both were carried out in 349 patients with locally advanced lung cancer. The operations included bronchoplastic procedures and pulmonary artery reconstruction in 205 cases, extended resection of left atrium in 75 cases, superior vena cava resection and reconstruction in 65 cases ( 3 patients had carina resection and reconstruction simultaneously) , and aorta resection and reconstruction in 4 cases respectively.
Results: There were two operative death. The operative mortality was 0. 6% in the series. Fifty-three patients had operative complications. The 1, 3, 5 and 10-year survival rates were 79. 36%, 59. 93%, 33. 14% and 23. 56% respectively.
Conclusions: Extended resection of the heart, great vessels or both can remarkably increase the long-term survival and improve the prognosis in patients with locally advanced lung cancer. Lobectomy or pneumonectomy combined with extended resection of the heart, great vessels in the treatment of locally advanced lung cancer.

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) remains scarcely reported, and complete tumor resection is the recommended treatment. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of the case of a 52-year-old woman who suffered from recurrent syncope episodes due to IVL with intracardiac extension to the right atrium. Partial tumor resection and postoperative hormone therapy were conducted first.

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, MA.
Background: Defects of the nose present complex reconstructive challenges to the plastic surgeon. We present our experience with using the dorsal nasal flap (DNF) to provide a durable reconstruction even in sizable defects that would otherwise be considered necessitating a paramedian forehead flap.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent reconstruction by DNF following resection of skin cancers on the nose.

Lumbar foraminal stenosis can be surgically treated by foraminal decompression or facet joint resection and fusion (transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, TLIF). While conventional foraminal decompression poses a risk of segmental instability, the endoscopic approach (extended endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy, EELF) resects only the ventral part of the facet joint with a horizontal surgical trajectory. A prospective observational study was performed to analyze the cost-effectiveness of EELF versus TLIF.

Introduction: Giant inguinoscrotal hernias (GIH), defined as hernias extending below the inner thigh midpoint in a standing position, are rare and often seen in resource-limited settings due to delayed medical care. These hernias pose surgical challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where standardized management protocols are lacking, and risks such as cardiorespiratory compromise are significant.
Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male presented with a large, irreducible right inguinoscrotal hernia of 1.
