Holography is a method of creating three-dimensional images called holograms. These are made by superimposing a second wavefront, usually defined as a reference beam, on the wavefront of interest. This produces an interference pattern, which...

The cardiophrenic angle lymph nodes were classified by Rouvière (1) as diaphragmatic lymph nodes and divided into: 1) Anterior (prepericardic) draining portions of the diaphragm, liver , pleura, and abdominal...
Pulmonary metastases excision is indicated for lung-sparing resection of small and central lesions when wedge resection or segmentectomy are unfeasible. This procedure can be challenging in case of deep-located metastases...
Partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection (PAPVC) is due to the failure of one or more of the pulmonary veins to be incorporated into the left atrium, thus flowing into the...
Introduction Robotic anatomic pulmonary resection with the da Vinci robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Mountain View, CA) for early-stage lung cancer is a safe and well-established procedure. The authors decided to...
Over the past 10 years, video-assisted thoracoscopic approaches (and more recently robot-assisted surgery) have replaced median sternotomy for resectable anterior mediastinal masses, including thymoma. Numerous studies confirmed that a minimally...
Introduction “Double sleeve” (vascular and bronchial) lobectomy is a challenging and complex procedure, but a reasonable alternative to pneumonectomy in patients with centrally located tumors involving the pulmonary artery and...
Introduction Major vascular injuries of pulmonary artery branches and pulmonary veins during anatomic thoracoscopic pulmonary resection for lung cancer have been widely described and reported in the literature, as well...
The authors present the case of a 69-year-old woman who was admitted to their division with a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the upper lobe of the right lung. The preoperative...
A 52-year-old patient was admitted to the authors’ department for left internal mammary artery lymph nodal metastases from breast cancer. The patient had undergone a left radical mastectomy 20 years...
A 58-year-old man was admitted to the authors’ department for neoplastic cervical trachea obstruction, causing stridor and dyspnoea. The patient had previously undergone a tongue resection and chemo-radiotherapy for squamous...
A 19-year-old male was referred to the authors’ department from another hospital because of a tight recurrent subglottic stenosis following tracheal resection and reconstruction for subglottic post-intubation stenosis. Several rigid...
