Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Lobectomy for Pulmonary Malignant Melanoma Metastasis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Malign melanoma (MM) develops as a result of malign transformation of the melanocytes and constitutes 2-4% of all skin cancers, while being the most common cause of mortality among all skin cancers. In addition to other organs, distant organ metastases also include lung metastasis. A metastasectomy is an acceptable treatment option in cases of malign melanoma with isolated lung metastasis. The current report presents a case with isolated lung metastasis that underwent a right upper VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) lobectomy due to tumour localization.

The current status of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) of the lung has been reviewed. The published data support the view that VATS pulmonary surgery is feasible and safe. It is associated with decreased perioperative pain and opiate requirement, better postoperative pulmonary function, and probable overall neutral cost impact. A VATS approach is functionally superior to open thoraco...

Introduction: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital abnormality that is usually diagnosed in childhood. When diagnosed in adults, patients are usually symptomatic and undergo open thoracotomy and lobectomy.

متن کاملA method of assessing reasons for conversion during video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.
Conversion rates during video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy are reported, but no previous publications have classified the cause of conversion. The aim of the study was to develop a quality assessment tool [vascular, anatomy, lymph node, technical (VALT) 'Open'] to evaluate reasons and nature of conversion during the development of a video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy program. Between 20...
