چکیده
Aims/Objectives Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimalist operation using a fiber optic cable that is connected to a video screen television for imaging objects and surgery will be done through several small incisions like keyhole of the chest cavity. VATS advantages compared to conventional surgery is the recovery time is shorter and very useful in situations whereas conventional thoracotomy surgery is not possible due to severe conditions. The drawback with this minimal incision exposes less due to obstructed ribs, but can be overcome with proper planning beforehand through a 3D reconstruction of CT Scans Thorax.

Evaluation of operability before lung resection.
Lung resection remains the treatment of choice in the curative approach to nonsmall cell lung cancer. Because most lung cancer patients are current or former smokers, they are at increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and coronary artery disease, conditions associated with increased surgical morbidity and mortality. Careful preoperative assessment of the cardiopulmonary reserve...

Introduction: Chronic pancreatitis is defined as a persistent pancreatic inflammatory disease. In chronic pancreatitis, recurrent episodes of inflammation lead to the replacement of pancreatic parenchyma with fibrotic connective tissue. Chronic pancreatitis pain, which may initially mimic acute pancreatitis, is severe, frequent, and continual and has a major impact on the quality of life and so...
متن کاملThe Six-minute Walk Test (6MWT) for the Evaluation of Pulmonary Diseases
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a well-tolerated test which reflects daily activities and can be easily used in clinical practice. The 6MWT provides information about functional capacity, response to therapy and prognosis across a range of chronic cardiopulmonary conditions. Moreover, the 6MWT is sensitive to the common therapies used for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, such as pulmon...

INTRODUCTION Thoracoscopic lobectomy for congenital pulmonary airway malformation has been indicated from the neonatal period to adolescence. However, it is difficult to approach the pulmonary artery for lobectomy in congenital lung malformations with incomplete or absent interlobar fissures. Multidetector computed tomographic images and computed tomography pulmonary angiography gave us helpful...
متن کاملEffects of dexmedetomidine on oxygenation and lung mechanics in patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease undergoing lung cancer surgery
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor that increases the incidence of postoperative cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality after lung resection. Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenoreceptor agonist, has been reported previously to attenuate intrapulmonary shunt during one-lung ventilation (OLV) and to alleviate bronchoconstriction. OBJECTIVE The objective...
