Objective: To describe a novel, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach used to treat pectus excavatum (PE) in a dog.
Animals: A 5 month-old, 5.1 kg, intact, female, Cockapoo.
Study Design: Case report.
Methods: Clinical, imaging and surgical records of a dog with severe PE who underwent VATS-assisted sternal cast placement were reviewed and reported. Treatment involved introduction of a mild pneumothorax and use of VATS, allowing direct visualization and therefore safe passage of circumsternal sutures as they were placed to reduce the risk of vascular/cardiac or pulmonary penetration and intraoperative complication in this patient.
Results: Treatment involved introduction of a mild pneumothorax and use of VATS, allowing direct visualization and therefore safe passage of circumsternal sutures as they were placed to reduce the risk of vascular/cardiac or pulmonary penetration and intraoperative complications in this patient. The patient recovered well and had an excellent long-term outcome with significantly improved vertebral index and frontosagittal index.
Conclusion: This modified technique resulted in an excellent outcome and minimized the risk of intraoperative complications during the surgical procedure in a dog.
Clinical Significance: This novel VATS approach for PE correction may provide a useful technique to help reduce intraoperative risk during PE correction in dogs.

A novel 3D image registration technique for augmented reality vision in minimally invasive thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy.
Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg
December 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Purpose: In this feasibility study, we aimed to create a dedicated pulmonary augmented reality (AR) workflow to enable a semi-automated intraoperative overlay of the pulmonary anatomy during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS).
Methods: Initially, the stereoscopic cameras were calibrated to obtain the intrinsic camera parameters. Intraoperatively, stereoscopic images were recorded and a 3D point cloud was generated from these images.
A case of posterior mediastinal Müllerian cyst characterized by morphology of serous papillary cystadenoma.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, People's Hospital of Zhangjiajie, Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China.
Background: Müllerian cysts of the posterior mediastinum are rare, benign lesions typically discovered incidentally via routine medical exams.
Case Presentation: We present a distinctive case of a 49-year-old asymptomatic woman, illustrating a rare Müllerian cyst located in the posterior mediastinum with serous papillary cystadenoma-like features, a novel finding in the medical literature. Identified during a routine health screening in December 2020, a 20 mm cystic lesion adjacent to the T4-5 vertebral body was detected through chest CT and MRI, initially suggesting a neurogenic tumor.
Intraoperative transbronchial metallic coil marking guided by mobile 3D C-arm for resection of a small peripheral lung lesion.

Sublober resection of small peripheral lung lesions using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery may require marking and confirmation using 3D imaging in the interventional radiology suite or in the hybrid operating room (HOR) before surgery is started. We report a novel approach for intraoperative transbronchial metallic coil marking followed by thoracoscopic wedge resection in a conventional operating room under mobile 3D C-arm guidance. Under general anesthesia, an ultrathin video-bronchoscope was inserted into an objective bronchus guided with virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and a coil-feeding microcatheter was introduced through the bronchoscope's channel.

Background: Management of the intersegmental plane (ISP) remains a challenge in lung segmentectomy to minimize intra- or postoperative complications and damage to the lungs. The purpose of this study was to assess the novel method's clinical feasibility and safety for segmentectomy.
Methods: A total of 205 patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy from May 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.

Department of Spine Surgery, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Background: Video-assisted debriefing (VAD) is promising for medical skill training, but its effectiveness requires further exploration. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of point-of-view VAD in spinal surgery training.
Methods: Forty surgical residents were randomly divided into control and video-assisted (VA) groups, both of which underwent pedicle screw fixation procedures while being graded by a consulting surgeon in terms of their technical skills (primary outcome).
