Late Results in Transthoracic Herniotomies

Late results in transthoracic herniotomies.

The late results after surgical treatment of hiatus hernia are scarcely commented upon in the literature, and most re-examinations do not state if radiological examinations have been performed on all the patients during the period of follow-up. We find this to be indispensable. The purpose of this investigation has been to assess the late results in a group of patients suffering from hiatus her...

CT-guided transthoracic biopsy: histopathologic results and complication rates.

PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the effectiveness and complications of transthoracic CT-guided biopsy techniques. METHODS A total of 94 CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy procedures performed in 85 patients were retrospectively evaluated. Core biopsy technique was used in 87 procedures and transthoracic fine-needle aspiration biopsy was used in seven procedures. RESULTS Diagnostic ...

Computer tomography guided transthoracic periaortic abscess needle biopsy in late mediastinitis after heart surgery.

Mediastinitis is a well-known complication of open heart surgery. Abscess as late complication, presenting years after heart surgery, is adegnotical. Transthoracic needle biopsies of lung parenchyma guided by computer tomography are widely accepted. The puncture of periaortic masses is not routinely performed. We report the case of an encapsulated mediastinal abscess localized next to ascending...
