Factors during training which predict future use of minimally invasive thoracic surgery

Managing hypoxemia during minimally invasive thoracic surgery.

An ever-increasing number of thoracic procedures are being performed through minimally invasive techniques. Although the incidence of hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV) has decreased over the years, it remains an issue in roughly 10% of cases. Algorithms for the management of OLV hypoxemia have to be adapted to the thoracoscopic approach, in particular the need for optimal surgical exp...

PRACTICAL MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY – Past, Present, Future

Considering all of the challenges faced by veterinary practices, it hardly seems worthwhile to consider adopting a new technology that involves capital expenditure, additional expense and learning curve and where the benefits of such an approach are difficult to document. (Freeman L. , 1999) Today, I hope to present a practical approach to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) from historical and fu...
