pulmonary lobectomy in haemophilia

Thoracoscopy assisted pulmonary lobectomy.

BACKGROUND This report describes a preliminary experience with six patients undergoing video imaged thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy. METHODS Three left upper lobectomies, and one each of right upper, right lower and left lower lobectomy were undertaken. The resections were performed as orthodox dissectional lobectomy procedures but were carried out under videothoracoscopic imaging with inst...

Changes in Pulmonary Volume following Lobectomy

The ablation of any considerable portion of a vitally functioning organ immediately raises the question of a reduction in functional capacity. With respect to the removal of one or more lobes of the lung, one may ask; first, what are the immediate and remote effects on the total lung volume and its component parts; second, what changes occur in the hemorespiratory exchange, and how long do they...

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation treated by lobectomy.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) may occur primarily or in association with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. We present a case of PAVM in the central lower lobe of the left lung of a 75-year-old woman, which was successfully treated by lobectomy. Contrast echocardiography is an excellent tool for evaluation of this uncommon lesion. Advances in interventional radiology have led ...

Pulmonary torsion following right upper lobectomy.

We report on a case of postoperative lobar torsion in a 51-year-old woman following right upper lobectomy. A right middle lobar torsion was diagnosed by postoperative observation with chest X-ray and bronchofiberscopy. An emergency rethoracotomy was performed and a middle lobectomy was carried out. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the 17th day after reth...
