Outcomes of internal rib fixation through complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for multiple rib fractures and flail chest in severe chest trauma.

Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg

January 2025

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Zhangjiagang Third People's Hospital, Renmin Middle No. 8 Road, Zhangjiagang, 215600, People's Republic of China.

Background: Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) is a standard treatment for multiple rib fractures and flail chest. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of internal rib fixation through complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for multiple rib fractures and flail chest in patients with severe chest trauma.

Methods: Thirty-nine patients with multiple rib fractures caused by severe chest trauma were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach used.

Nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery: myth or reality?

Curr Opin Anaesthesiol

Department of Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Emergency, A.O.U. Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino, Torino, Italy.

Purpose Of Review: This review discusses nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) by presenting its physiological, technical aspects and recent clinical data from the literature.

Recent Findings: In the last two decades, NIVATS has gained traction as an alternative to traditional intubated thoracic surgery, offering potential benefits in terms of reduced complications, faster recovery times, and improved patient satisfaction. Several approaches to this technique have been described in the literature, mainly divided into the awake patient technique (awake-NIVATS) and the asleep patient technique (asleep-NIVATS).
