New Survey: Investigating Issues Surrounding Non-General Anesthesia Thoracic Surgery ProceduresNon-general anesthesia thoracic surgery entails a relatively novel surgical approach aimed at minimizing the surgical trauma and avoid potential side-effects of general anesthesia with one-lung ventilation. This can be accomplished by using VATS coupled with regional anesthesia methods such as thoracic epidural or local anesthesia with or without sedation. |
CTSNet Video Roundtable – VATS Lobectomy vs. Robotic LobectomyCTSNet hosted a very lively Video Roundtable discussion at the recent 2013 STS Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, CA, on issues surrounding the two major minimally invasive techniques for removing parts of the lung. |
