Pulmonary infiltration from retroperitoneal carcinoma requiring diaphragm, chest wall and lung resection after thoracoabdominal access.
Primary retroperitoneal carcinoma is a rare but highly aggressive tumour often resulting in infiltration of abdominal organs and diaphragm. We describe a case of retroperitoneal carcinoma infiltrating the diaphragm, the lower lobe of the left lung and ribs IX and X, but sparing the abdominal organs. After thoracoabdominal access, our patient underwent resection of the retroperitoneal carcinoma,...
متن کاملAsymmetrical action of the canine diaphragm after single-lung inflation.
Single-lung transplantation (SLT) in patients with emphysema leads to a cranial displacement of the diaphragm on the transplanted side and a shift of the mediastinum toward the transplanted lung. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of unilateral lung inflation on the mechanics of the diaphragm. Two endotracheal tubes were inserted in the two main stem bronchi of six anes...

متن کاملPrediction of hypoxemia after lung resection surgery.
Pulmonary resection under general anesthesia induces various degrees of hypoxemia that adversely impacts on postoperative recovery. Consecutive of 53 patients undergoing anatomical pulmonary resection were enrolled in this study to accurately define predictors of postoperative hypoxemia. Preoperative variables studied included spirometric variables, blood gases, and extent of low attenuation ar...
متن کاملMucoid impaction after segmental resection of lung.
Lung segmentectomy is generally considered as a standard procedure in general thoracic surgery. Anatomical variations of pulmonary segmentation may, however, make it difficult to determine the precise area of resection during segmentectomy. Incomplete pulmonary sub-lobar resection may produce unusual radiographic features. Herein, we report a case of bronchial atresia after lung segmentectomy.
