Article Abstract
Diaphragm paralysis is a rare complication in pediatric heart surgery (0.28%-5.6%, depending on the procedure). When unilateral paralysis happens in adults, it is rarely symptomatic. However, it can cause respiratory distress syndrome when it happens in newborn or young children. The clinical diagnosis comes with a failure to wean from ventilation. The chest X-ray shows the ascension of the concerned hemidiaphragm. The goal of the surgical treatment is to pull down the paralyzed diaphragm and to increase the ventilating capacity. The classical surgical approach is a posterior-lateral thoracotomy in the 5th intercostal space of the concerned paralyzed hemidiaphragm. This approach has several drawbacks such as requiring drainage, reopening the chest after heart surgery, the high level of pain, and the cosmetic side effects. The subcostal approach is a good alternative because it is less time- consuming, it does not require any drainage, and it is less painful. This video-tutorial describes the abdominal approach and provides its advantages compared to a thoracotomy.

Sleeve lobectomy has solidified its position as a preferred alternative to pneumonectomy due to its significant advantage in preserving lung function, whereas right lower lobe sleeve lobectomy remains relatively uncommon because of the higher technical challenge. With the development of minimally invasive technology and experience acquired over the years, robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) has shown progress and distinct advantages compared to the traditional thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach. Owing to its 3D vision, bendable wrist joints, and tremor filtration capabilities, this surgical technique exhibits great advantages in complex thoracic operations demanding for reconstructive procedures compared to traditional thoracoscopic surgery.

The da Vinci single-port (SP) surgical system is a new system in which a camera and three robotic forceps are inserted into the body through a single small wound for surgical manipulation. This paper outlines the basic techniques and tips for mediastinal tumor surgery using the da Vinci SP, especially the subxiphoid single-port approach. In addition, we will discuss the subcostal approach single-port middle or posterior mediastinal tumor surgery.

Lung ultrasound has become indispensable in managing critically ill patients, offering bedside evaluation capabilities for intensive care unit physicians without ionizing radiation. This noninvasive technique demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing various lung pathologies, including pleural effusion and consolidation syndrome. A novel trans-hepatic subcostal approach enhances visualization of the lower right lung lobe, revealing the diaphragm dome and inferior lobe through oblique coronal sections.

Objective: To investigate the anesthetic and analgesic effects of combining general anesthesia with an anterior quadratus lumborum block at the lateral supra-arcuate ligament (SA-AQLB) in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: In this prospective study, 92 elderly patients scheduled for radical CRC resection were randomly divided into three groups: ultrasound-guided SA-AQLB group (SA group, n=31), ultrasound-guided subcostal AQLB (SC-AQLB) group (SC group, n=31), and a general anesthesia-only group (GA group, n=30). Measurements included mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) at predefined time points, ranging from pre-operation to the end of surgery.
