AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study presents a lateral approach using a grasping technique for safely performing uniportal major lung resections, enhancing precision in dissection.
  • - Grasping forceps are utilized to dissect tissue in a three-dimensional manner, minimizing risk to critical organs like blood vessels during the procedure.
  • - The surgical incision is located on the middle axillary line at the 6th intercostal space, allowing for clear visibility and access to the hilum structures, facilitating the use of a stapler during the surgery.

Article Abstract

We report a lateral approach using the grasping technique for uniportal major lung resection. Grasping dissected tissue with grasping forceps enables the dissected surface to be three-dimensionally dissected from important organs, such as blood vessels, which, therefore, makes the procedure safe. Furthermore, there is an incision wound on the middle axillary line at the 6th intercostal space, and therefore, either the anterior or posterior side of the hilum can be easily observed, and a stapler can pass through all structures of the hilum easily.

Background: Hyperaldosteronism involves complex, multidisciplinary management, including clinical testing, radiological exams, and adrenal venous sampling (AVS). This study assesses AVS outcomes at a large referral center, focusing on cannulation success, lateralization of aldosterone-producing adenomas, and correlation with radiological and surgical findings.

Methods: A retrospective review of 153 patients who underwent AVS from September 2016 to January 2024 was conducted.

Background: Aim of the present paper is to report the preliminary results of CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design - Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology application to distal femur nonunion treatment with free fibula flap, custom made medial plating and maintenance of a stable lateral locking plate.

Methods: Two cases of distal femur nonunion that occurred after lateral locking plating were treated and prospectively followed-up. Surgical planning followed the same preoperative protocol adopted for mandibular CAD-CAM reconstruction.

Background: Dengue fever (DF) poses a growing global threat, necessitating a comprehensive one-health approach to address its complex interplay between human, animal, and environmental factors. In Oyo State, Nigeria, the true burden of DF remains unknown due to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis as malaria, exacerbated by poor health-seeking behavior, weak surveillance systems, and inadequate health infrastructure. Adopting a one-health approach is crucial to understanding the dynamics of DF transmission.
