the main objective of this study was to identify the incidence of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia in patients underwent lobectomy, subtotal thyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy. this randomized trial study was performed from may 2010 to july 2011 among 108 consecutive patients undergoing thyroidectomy. patients were allocated into 3 groups based on the 3 common type of thyroidectomy. pre and po...

Surgical resection by lobectomy is the gold standard of therapy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer. However, not all patients are medically fit to undergo surgery. In considered high-risk lobectomy, alternative strategies have been developed including radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, microwave stereotactic radiation therapy, wedge resection, and segmentectomy. This work reviews de...

Sleeve lobectomy can preserve healthy lung parenchyma in centrally located lung cancer surgery. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has been shown to have better results for postoperative complications than thoracotomy lobectomy. However, its limitations in visualization of operative field and handling of instruments restrain surgeons performing sleeve lobectomy. Robotic surge...

intra-operative management of thyroid gland in laryngeal cancer is controversial. to determine the rate of thyroid involvement in patients with laryngeal cancer treated by radical surgical excision, we reviewed the records during 1996-2000 in imam khomeini hospital, cancer institute, and amir alam hospital.we studied several factors such as age, gender, and tumor location, presence of thyroid i...

Abstract A 4‐year‐old female neutered Welsh Springer Spaniel was presented with pneumothorax secondary to a migrating foreign body in the right caudal lung lobe. Within 24 hours following thoracic exploration and hilar lobectomy, patient deteriorated. CT consistent lobar torsion. second median sternotomy identified concurrent cranial middle lobe Hilar lobectomy of affected lobes performed. To p...

Bronchoplastic lobectomy is a lung-saving procedure indicated for central tumors, for which the alternative is pneumonectomy. We compared operative mortality and complications between bronchoplastic lobectomy and pneumonectomy in lung cancer patients. From March 1993 through December 2005, 1,461 patients were surgically resected for non-small cell lung cancer, including 73 who underwent broncho...

an account of the management of a haemophilic patient is presented who developed severe, prolonged hacmoptyscs caused by hydatid lung disease, and who ultima tely requ ired thoracotomy and lobec tomy of the lungs.

OBJECTIVE Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in well-selected patients with severe emphysema results in postoperative improvement in symptoms and pulmonary function. Experience with LVRS suggests that predicted postoperative FEV(1.0) may be underestimated after lobectomy in patients with lung cancer and emphysema. As most of the patients with lung cancer have more or less emphysematous change...
