Out of the 220 cases of goiters operated in the clinic 19 were partially or totally intra-thoracic, as follows: --totally intra-thoracic: 7 cases; --partially intra-thoracic: 12 cases, of which: mediastino-cervical: 2 cases; cervico-mediastinal: 10 cases. Five of the totally intra-thoracic goiters were in the anterior mediastinum, while two were in the posterior mediastinum, in a retro-oesophageal position. Three of the 19 intra-thoracic goiters were malignant. The symptomatology, the diagnosis and especially the therapeutical attitude are discussed.

Side-to-side esophagogastric anastomosis for minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy: operative technique and short-term outcomes.

Department of Digestive Surgery, European Institute of Oncology (IRCCS), 20141, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- * A study evaluating 36 patients who underwent TMIIL used a 3-cm linear-stapled side-to-side technique, with median operative time of 365 minutes and a 2.8% in-hospital mortality rate.
- * Results indicate TMIIL with this method is generally safe, with low occurrence of anastomotic leaks (5.6%) and strictures, but some patients experienced complications like chylothorax and pulmonary issues.
RAMIE: tradition drives innovation-feasibility of a robotic-assisted intra-thoracic anastomosis.

Due to the difficulties in the intra-thoracic esophagogastric anastomosis creation, totally minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIE) did not encountered a large diffusion, preferring hybrid techniques or cervical anastomosis. Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has gained popularity due to an easy reproducibility of the open anastomotic technique. In this feasibility study, we described the RAMIE technique introduced in our Center, providing innovative details for a mechanical end-to-end anastomosis.

Introduction: Intrathoracic textiloma is a rare complication possibly leading to misdiagnosis. It could present as haemoptysis, lung abscess, pseudo-tumour or a chronic cough.
Case Report: A 65-year-old patient with a history of multiple cardiac problems and needing long-term anticoagulation, complained since 2007 of recurrent haemoptysis of increasing abundance, the etiological investigation of which was negative.

We describe a novel technique of totally robotic-assisted non-circumferential tracheal resection and running anastomosis with coverage of anastomosis with anterior mediastinal fat flap. A 71-year-old female presented with cough and CT scan revealed a mass at the intra-thoracic trachea. A complete robotic-assisted tracheal resection and anastomosis was performed.

Aim: To evaluate the outcomes of patients who underwent laparoscopic repair of intra-thoracic gastric volvulus (IGV) and to assess the preoperative work-up.
Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of patient medical records identified 14 patients who underwent a laparoscopic repair of IGV. The procedure included reduction of the stomach into the abdomen, total sac excision, reinforced hiatoplasty with mesh and construction of a partial fundoplication.
