Background: Neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus (NETT) are rare and malignant tumors that arise in the anterior mediastinum. These tumors can exhibit aggressive behavior and may involve surrounding critical structures, such as the superior vena cava. This case contributes to the literature by presenting a recurrent thymic carcinoma with invasion of major blood vessels, including the superior vena cava, and the complexities involved in its surgical management.

Background: Accurate localization of small pulmonary nodules (SPNs) during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is challenging due to the small size and deep location. Both the 4-hook wire technique and methylene blue are significant methods for preoperative localization of SPNs. This study aimed to compare the safety of both methods by monitoring and recording any surgery-related complications.

Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is more effective for diagnosing and treating solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). It is sometimes difficult to localize through use of minimally invasive techniques. We evaluated the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of a novel localization method for SPNs.

Background: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) can lead to a severe complication known as recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (RLNP). Existing literature supports that recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is the principal etiology of RLNP, a complication potentially mitigated through intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). In this study, we examined the comprehensive effectiveness of IONM during esophageal resection by performing a meta-analysis.

Background: Postoperative air leak is the most common complication after pulmonary resection. "Provocative clamping" was first described in 1992 in the context of guiding chest tube removal despite persistent air leak. However, early provocative clamping after pulmonary resection has not been evaluated.
