Objective: To confirm that saline sealing of the needle trace after computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy reduces the incidence of pneumothorax and chest tube insertion, and to observe its effects on pulmonary hemorrhage and hemoptysis.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent CT-guided lung biopsy at our hospital between January 2018 and January 2024 were included in the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether the needle trace was sealed with saline after tissue sampling.

Background: Moderate-to-severe pain is common after cardiac surgery, peaking during the first and second postoperative days. Several nerve blocks for sternotomy have been described; however, the optimal location for continuous catheters has not been established. This study assessed the feasibility of a larger trial evaluating the efficacy of serratus anterior plane (SAP) catheter analgesia for sternotomy pain.

Purpose: The primary objective was to compare the intra- and postoperative outcomes of diaphragmatic stripping versus full-thickness diaphragmatic resection in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis who underwent cytoreductive surgery.
Methods: According to the PRSIMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted for studies comparing postoperative pulmonary complications as well as intra- and postoperative outcomes of diaphragmatic stripping versus full-thickness diaphragmatic resection in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis necessitating cytoreductive surgery. Data from eligible studies were extracted, qualitatively assessed, and included in a meta-analysis.
