Department of Respiratory Medicine, Clinic Havelhöhe Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
Background: Clinical trials have shown beneficial results from lung volume reduction with endobronchial coils in patients with emphysema, but comprehensive safety data are not yet available for a new coil type, Coil #4. The objective of this study is to generate real-world data (RWD) on the safety and efficacy of endobronchial Coil #2 and Coil #4.
Methods: This is a cohort study of prospectively collected data from the multicenter German Lung Emphysema Registry e.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, severity, and treatment modalities of chylous ascites after laparoscopic/robotic para-aortic lymph node (PALN) dissection for left-sided colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: A cohort of 143 patients who underwent laparoscopic PALN dissection for left-sided CRC were included. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify risk factors for the occurrence of chylous ascites.

Background: Robotic surgery has been associated with superior short-term outcomes in patients undergoing total mesorectal excision (TME) for organ-confined rectal cancer. However, whether this approach offers an additional benefit over laparoscopy when performing lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) with TME or extended TME (e-TME) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is not known.
Aims: This study was conducted to evaluate the outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic LPLND in patients with lateral pelvic node-positive LARC with reference to intraoperative safety, postoperative morbidity, pathological indices including nodal yield and node positivity rates, lateral pelvic recurrence rates, and short term event-free and overall survival.

Objective: A middle cranial fossa is a well-recognized location for an intracranial arachnoid cyst in children. Giant middle fossa arachnoid cysts (GMFACs) can compress brain tissue, leading to rupture and potentially developing a subdural hygroma or hematoma. With recent advancements in neuroendoscopic technology, neuroendoscopic treatments have increasingly been used for middle fossa cysts.

Background: Single-use flexible bronchoscopes (SFBs) are increasingly used to minimize cross-infection risk, particularly in immunocompromised and intensive care unit patients. However, broader adoption requires cost analysis. We conducted a 1-year cost-minimization analysis comparing SFBs and reusable flexible bronchoscopes (RFBs) at a tertiary care university hospital.
