Is sacrifying the phrenic nerve during thymoma resection worthwhile?
OBJECTIVES Locally advanced thymoma can often involve the phrenic nerve (PN) due to its location on the mediastinal pleura. However, en bloc resection including the PN may cause severe postoperative complications, especially in myasthenia gravis patients. The aim of the study was to determine whether a PN involved could be spared during thymoma resection. METHODS A retrospective study was con...

متن کاملPhrenic nerve reconstruction by intercostal nerve neurotization on pigs
Background: Our aim was to investigate the motor outcome, effects on the diaphragm muscle, and delimit the regained nerve conduction capacity of the transected phrenic nerve, following its reconstruction to prepare the subjects to electrophrenic respiration. Methods: All one-year-old 12 healthy pigs (German Landrace) weighing 45 to 50 kg were used in the study. Three groups, each of which consi...
متن کاملSuccessful reimplantation of a phrenic nerve stimulator after traumatic exteriorisation.
A quadriplegic patient experienced post-traumatic exteriorisation of the subcutaneous receiver of a phrenic pacemaker. In the absence of infection and stimulation dysfunction in the patient, the device was reimplanted with full success at 1 year. This strategy can, exceptionally, be considered if removal and subsequent implantation is impossible or refused.
متن کاملSuccessful Resection of a Large Incidentally Found Primary Mediastinal Liposarcoma
Primary liposarcoma of the mediastinum is an uncommon tumour. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who was found incidentally to have a large anterior mediastinal mass. Complete removal of the tumour was accomplished successfully. Appropriate immunohistochimical stains were performed, confirming the presence of a well-differentiated liposarcoma of the mediastinum. We describe an unusual cas...
