Tracheal perforation is a rare complication of thyroid surgery. A 36-year-old man with previous neck radiotherapy due to a nasopharyngeal cancer. After right hemithyoidectomy and isthmusectomy, the patient presented a tracheal perforation. The diagnosis was confirmed with computed tomography and bronchoscopy. A conservative management was performed with drainage and antibiotic therapy, and the evolution was satisfactory. If recognized at the time of the surgery, perforations should be closed primarily. Delayed perforations will be treated with an emergency surgery or conservatively depending on the clinical situation of the patient.

Establishing reference curves for vital tissue perfusion using quantitative near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green.
Langenbecks Arch Surg
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Leiden University Medical Center, Albinusdreef 2, 2333 ZA, Leiden, The Netherlands.
Purpose: Assessment of tissue perfusion using near-infrared fluorescence (NIR) with indocyanine green (ICG) is gaining popularity, however reliable and objective interpretation remains a challenge. Therefore, this study aimed to establish reference curves for vital tissue perfusion across target tissues using this imaging modality.
Methods: Data from five prospective study cohorts conducted in three Dutch academic medical centres between December 2018 and June 2023 was included.
Minimally Invasive Enucleation of Esophageal Leiomyoma: Experience From a Single Institution.

Digestive Surgery, Cho Ray Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, VNM.
Introduction: Esophageal leiomyoma is a rare disease, most of which are benign, and endoscopic tumor removal surgery is a widely accepted treatment method. The two surgical approaches, laparoscopic and thoracoscopic, must be selected and applied according to the tumor size and location. The study aimed to evaluate the results, feasibility, and appropriate approach of minimally invasive surgery to treat esophageal leiomyoma.

Background: Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is a rare and life-threatening condition, with high morbidity and mortality. Consequently, appropriate and prompt diagnosis and treatment are necessary. Herein, we report a case of esophageal perforation and bronchial ulcer secondary to DNM, for which thoracoscopic esophagectomy was performed after the failure of conservative treatment.

Article Synopsis
- A mare was admitted with significant neck swelling, lethargy, and loss of appetite, leading to the discovery of serious injuries via radiography and endoscopy, including emphysema and lacerations.
- Treatment involved antimicrobials, fluids, and surgeries like temporary tracheostomy and esophagostomy, addressing issues such as deep cervical infection and esophageal impaction.
- After a recovery period with ongoing management, the mare successfully returned to competition after being discharged 51 days later.
Puncture dilatation tracheostomy in children during transoral neurosurgical interventions.

Burdenko Neurosurgical Center, Moscow, Russia.
Unlabelled: Neurosurgical interventions within the ventral surface of the clivus and upper cervical vertebrae in childhood are sometimes carried out through transoral approach. In this situation, tracheostomy is safer for airway protection and mechanical ventilation compared to prolonged intubation. The world experience of percutaneous dilation tracheostomy in pediatric patients is limited due to anatomical and physiological features, such as difficult orientation in anatomical landmarks, high mobility of the trachea and small tracheal lumen.
