Lymphadenectomy is an important part of lung cancer surgery. At the moment, video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) is the most common approach to remove these tumors, when it is technically possible. With our current experience in VATS in major resections we have obtained a radical videothoracoscopic mediastinal lymphadenectomy, and single-port provides us with the best anatomic instrumentation and a direct view.

Pulmonary cavernous hemangioma: a case report.
BMC Pulm Med

Department of Medical Imaging, Baoji Central Hospital, Baoji, China.
Background: Cavernous hemangiomas can occur in various internal organs like the liver, kidney, bladder, and skin, or even in subcutaneous tissues. However, they rarely occur in the lungs, making pulmonary cavernous hemangiomas (PCH) an uncommon finding. Herein, we report a rare case of pulmonary cavernous hemangioma that was surgically resected.

Objectives: The study's goal is to find out if there is a link between the results of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) done before surgery and the chance of getting pneumonia after surgery in people with stage I lung cancer who are having a video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis on data from 194 patients with lung cancer who underwent VATS lung resection between January 2020 and August 2023. We assessed the preoperative 6MWT findings and the likelihood of developing postoperative pneumonia using a logistic regression model.

Mediastinal lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors arising from lymphatic system malformations, most commonly seen in pediatric populations. In adults, they are exceedingly rare and present diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and imaging overlap with other mediastinal masses. Diagnosis is typically based on imaging, including CT and MRI, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis.

Thoracic injuries are common, occurring in up to 60% of polytrauma patients and represent 25% of trauma deaths. Thoracic trauma frequently involves injury to the pleural space resulting in hemothorax and pneumothorax-effective management of the pleural space is essential. Reviewed in this article is management of the pleural space in chest wall trauma (including pneumothorax and hemothorax), and chest tube placement, indications for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, management, and complications.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Guoxue Alley, No. 37, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Objectives: The utilization of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become prevalent, notwithstanding, there are few studies exploring its application specifically in esophagectomy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data collected from patients diagnosed with clinical stage T1-3/N0/M0 thoracic esophageal cancer, who underwent surgery between January 2017 and December 2020. To evaluate the outcomes, an analysis was conducted utilizing the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method.
