Development of a giant bulla after lung volume reduction surgery.
Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is being evaluated in the treatment of emphysema. The proposed mechanisms of improvement are increased elastic recoil of the lung and improved mechanical efficiency of the muscles of respiration. We report a unique patient with emphysema who developed a giant bulla 3 years subsequent to LVRS. The patient underwent extensive evaluation, including measurements...
متن کاملThe VersaJet for Breast-Reduction Surgery: Operator Beware
BACKGROUND Modern techniques for breast-reduction surgery depend on large surface de-epithelialization. The current gold standard technique involves the use of a scalpel for sharp debridement and is a time-consuming process that is labor-intensive and often requires an assistant to stabilize the breast. Surgeons who perform breast-reduction surgery continue to search for instruments and innovat...
متن کاملThe Concept of Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Applied in Surgery for a Giant Fibroadenoma
The treatment of a 40-year-old woman with a giant fibroadenoma in her left breast is presented. The fibroadenoma measured 14 × 5 × 3 cm and weighed 170 g. We demonstrate that the surgical strategy and the reconstructive techniques in oncoplastic breast cancer surgery successfully can be applied to the treatment of these rare benign tumours improving the cosmetic and functional outcome.
متن کاملBreast-conserving surgery is contraindicated for recurrent giant multifocal phyllodes tumours of breast
BACKGROUND The controversy between breast conserving surgery and simple mastectomy for phyllodes tumours of the breast remains because of the unpredictable nature of the disease. Although some benign tumours may show an unusually aggressive behaviour, modified radical surgery for phyllodes tumours offers no survival advantage, and recently more conservative surgical approaches have been deploye...
متن کاملReconstructive and Oncoplastic Surgery for Giant Phyllodes Tumors: A Single Centre\'s Experience
Phyllodes tumors are biphasic fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast. While the surgical management of these relatively uncommon tumors has been addressed in the literature, few reports have commented on the surgical approach to tumors greater than ten centimetres in diameter – the giant phyllodes tumor. We report a case of giant breast tumors and discuss the techniques utilized for pre-...
