Thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer.
Thoracoscopic surgery has raised awareness in minimizing invasiveness in respiratory surgery. In the case of lung cancer, technical difficulties associated with standard curative surgery may not allow the use of a total thoracoscopic procedure. Although thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery is minimally invasive and safe, it demands a high level of skill and care. Surgery is often performed using a...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for locally advanced lung cancer.
First described over two decades ago, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is now well established for the treatment of early stage non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) (1-6). Thoracoscopic approaches are preferred for many common thoracic procedures because of their predictable salutary effect on outcomes likely brought about by perioperative pain reductions. As widespread surgeon expe...
متن کاملTechnical strategy for dealing with bleeding during thoracoscopic lung surgery.
Uncontrollable bleeding caused by vascular injury is an important reason for conversion to thoracotomy during thoracoscopic lung surgery. Demmy et al. (1) summarized several effective methods for dealing with bleeding, such as the use of thrombostatic material, biological sealant, or discreet utilization of energy sources. However, managing more severe bleeding is quite challenging even for exp...
متن کاملThoracoscopic surgery for lung emphysema using an infrared camera
Localized emphysema is difficult to detect on normal thoracoscopy. Indocyanine green (ICG) was used to precisely delineate an emphysematous lesion using an infrared camera system in a 75-year-old woman with a large emphysematous lesion in the right lower lobe. Due to repeated infections of the emphysematous lesion, right basal segmentectomy for localized lung emphysema was performed. During sur...
متن کاملThoracoscopic surgery for esophageal cancer.
Esophagectomy is the appropriate treatment for patients with resectable esophageal cancer. In common with conventional surgeries, controversy exists about what is the best approach and extent of the dissection. For many years, the procedure of choice for the incision has been the Ivor Lewis procedure, later modified. The tumor is resected through a right thoracotomy combined with a laparotomy w...
