Anomalous drainage of lingular vein into left inferior pulmonary vein during thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery.

J Cardiothorac Surg

January 2025

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Sichuan Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Sichuan Cancer Hospital & Institute, Sichuan Cancer Center, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China.

Background: The intricate anatomical variations in lung structure often perplex thoracic surgeons, and the accurate identification of these variations is closely associated with favorable surgical outcomes.

Case Presentation: A 53-year-old female patient who underwent computed tomography (CT) examination due to chest discomfort, revealing the presence of a partial solid nodule highly suspected of early-stage lung cancer, measuring approximately 2.8 × 2.

Background: Hemorrhage is a major complication of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) embolization, which can be related to persistent arteriovenous shunts that were not completely occluded during the embolization. In transvenous embolization (TVE) this risk is deemed higher for AVMs larger than 3 cm featuring multiple veins of drainage. Herein, we will discuss a few selected cases where brain AVMs with more than one draining vein were deemed safe for curative embolization with advanced endovascular techniques after a careful anatomical study through the four dimensional-digital subtraction angiography (4D-DSA) imaging.

Evaluation of postoperative drainage necessity in posterior atlantoaxial fixation via intermuscular approach for odontoid fracture.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, Shanghai Changzheng Hospital, Naval Medical University, 415 Fengyang Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai, 200003, People's Republic of China.

The necessity of routinely placing closed suction wound drainage in spinal surgery has been questioned. This study aims to assess if closed suction wound drainage is necessary for posterior atlantoaxial fixation via intermuscular approach. The functional outcomes of these 40 patients who underwent posterior atlantoaxial fixation via intermuscular approach without drainage tube (Group A) were compared with that of a control group, which consisted of 68 randomly enrolled cases with posterior atlantoaxial fixation via intermuscular approach with drainage tube (Group B).

Article Synopsis
  • Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping is crucial for staging dogs with mast cell tumors (MCTs), but many are referred to oncologists after surgery.
  • A study involving 29 dogs aimed to see if lymphatic drainage patterns change before and after tumor removal by comparing SLN mapping results.
  • The findings showed that surgical intervention did affect lymphatic drainage, with only 46.7% of cases showing complete agreement in SLN identification before and after surgery.
