Pulmonary metastases in urogenital cancers: Surgical treatment and outcomes.

Introduction: Metastasis is remaining one of the major problems in cancer treatment. Like many other malignancies, urogenital tumors originating from kidney, prostate, testes, and bladder tend to metastasize to the lungs. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the operative results and prognosis of pulmonary metastasectomy in patients with primary urogenital tumors.

FDG PET/CT signs of proven pulmonary hydatid cyst: is there any clue?

Purpose: Pulmonary hydatid cyst (PHC) can imitate many diseases. Sometimes, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is performed in terms of malignancy exclusion for complicated cysts. Although some specific findings (doughnut sign) have been identified in hydatid cyst of the liver, there is no specific sign described for PHC.

The Initial Experience on Thoracoscopic Sleeve Lobectomy: Continuous Suturing Technique of the Bronchial Anastomosis in 12 Cases.

Background: Sleeve resection is a widely performed type of operation in the surgical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is now used even in central tumor surgeries of the lung with the increasing technology and experience. Sleeve resection cases performed through VATS in our clinic in recent years were presented with demographic, surgical, pathologic, and survey characteristics.

A rare complication of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: lung herniation retrospective case series of three patients and review of the literature.

Introduction: Lung herniation is defined as a protrusion of the lung parenchyma with its pleura through the intercostal space. It is a rare condition and usually occurs after thoracic trauma and surgical interventions. A few cases of lung herniations have been reported after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) but only two cases have been reported after VATS lobectomy.

The extraordinary journey of a metal endoclip to the outside of the chest wall.

Metal endoclips are frequently utilized in surgical procedures. Within the medical literature, metal endoclip migration following general surgical procedures is a widely studied complication. However, examples of thoracic metal endoclip migration are, as yet, absent in the medical literature.

Conjunction of a Fungus Ball and a Pulmonary Tumourlet in a Bronchiectatic Cavity.

Herein, we describe the case of a 67-year-old female patient who presented with cough and haemoptysis. Chest computed tomography revealed destruction of the left lower lobe and multiple fungus balls in a bronchiectatic cavity. A left lower lobectomy was performed via thoracotomy.
