Simple surgical treatment for pleuroperitoneal communication without interruption of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysisGeneral Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery - Tập 55 - Trang 508-511 - 2007
Hajime Kumagai, Masanobu Watari, Masatoshi Kuratsune
Pleuroperitoneal communication is a complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) that can necessitate cessation of CAPD. Hemodialysis was started on a 52-year-old woman and shifted to CAPD 1 month later. However, 18 days after initiation of CAPD, her chest radiograph showed a right-side hydrothorax. Thoracentesis yielded a colorless pleural effusion with markedly higher glucose...... hiện toàn bộ
Video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy for lung cancer in a patient with complete situs inversusGeneral Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery - Tập 61 - Trang 155-159 - 2012

Complete situs inversus is a rare abnormality of autosomal recessive inheritance; it requires particular care during surgery, because the viscus anatomy is a mirror image of the normal anatomy. Reports of surgery for lung cancer in cases of complete situs inversus are very rare. Here, we report a case of lobectomy for lung cancer of the right lower lobe performed using video-assisted thoracic surg...... hiện toàn bộ

We present here in the case of a patient who underwent resection of clear cell carcinoma of the lung, a rare histological type. A screening test of the 71-yearold woman revealed a 2.0-cm lesion in S4 of the right lung with a diagnosis of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma before resection. Under the guidance of video-assisted thoracoscopy, right middle lobe resection and mediastinal lymph node dissectio...... hiện toàn bộ

We herein present a case of intrathoracic omental herniation through the esophageal hiatus in a young patient. A 21-year-old obese man was asymptomatic, and his chest X-ray demonstrated a large, sharply defined mass. A computed tomography scan of the thorax indicated a large retrocardial mediastinal mass in which the density indicated the presence of fatty tissue judging from the Hounsfield unit r...... hiện toàn bộ

We have studied influence of the age related factors on preoperative autologous donation (PAD) of blood in cardic surgery. PAD was undertaken in 246 cases of elective cardiac surgery by means of simple or leap-frog method, starting at approximately 4.5 weeks before operation. It provided 1726 ml of autologous blood storage on the average. Sorting the patients into three groups with age, leading su...... hiện toàn bộ
Initial results of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in JapanGeneral Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery - Tập 62 - Trang 720-725 - 2014

As surgical robots have become increasingly used, verification of their usefulness in the general thoracic surgery field is required. Initial results of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in Japan were investigated. A questionnaire survey was performed to retrospectively examine the current status of robotic surgery for general thoracic disease in Japan. The subjects were 112 cases performed by ...... hiện toàn bộ
Lobectomy: Video-Assisted thoracic surgery versus posterolateral thoracotomyGeneral Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery - Tập 46 - Trang 519-522 - 1998
Toshiro Ohbuchi, Toshiaki Morikawa, Eriho Takeuchi, Hiroyuki Kato
Background:Video-assisted lobectomy has been adopted by many thoracic surgeons, because it is a less invasive approach to small peripheral lung cancers. However, some authors disagree that video-assisted lobectomy is less invasive than traditional thoracotomy and lobectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the advantages of video-assisted lobectomy over posterolateral tho...... hiện toàn bộ
