Trachea and Bronchi
Primary tracheal tumors are rare, with adenoid cystic carcinoma being a common subtype with a tendency for submucosal spread (1). Surgical resection with primary anastomosis is the standard treatment. Minimally invasive techniques, including uniportal video-assisted...
This single-center retrospective study examined 86 living-donor lobar lung transplant recipients who received 163 lobar grafts. Airway complications occurred in eight grafts (4.9 percent), all presenting as bronchial stenosis. Segmental...
Tracheal rupture after endotracheal intubation is uncommon, occurring in approximately 0.005 percent to 0.37 percent of intubations, yet it carries substantial morbidity and mortality when recognition is delayed. The risk...
Primary tracheal tumors are rare, with adenoid cystic carcinoma being a common subtype with a tendency for submucosal spread (1). Surgical resection with primary anastomosis is the standard treatment. Minimally...
This randomized crossover trial evaluated whether combining needle aspiration and forceps biopsy improves diagnostic yield compared to using a single device alone during electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) for peripheral pulmonary...
Minimally invasive surgical management can be performed safely with R0 resection, utilizing the same technique that would be applied through thoracotomy. The robotic platform provides the surgeon with the opportunity...
An interesting article describing the interface between medical 3D printing and art. It briefly outlines current and future applications, and it also describes constraints to the use of this technology.
...Introduction Dr Oscar Clagett described the open window thoracostomy in 1963 for treating postpneumonectomy empyema. This technique is still used in the management of bronchopleural fistula after lung resection. The...
Patient Care China and Cambodia will work together on a program to provide free heart surgery to 100 Cambodian children with congenital heart disease. Quadruple bypass surgery was the inspiration...
Sacha Mussot of the Marie Lannelongue Hospital in Le Plessis-Robinson, France, discusses tracheal resection. He focuses on advances in replacing or reconstructing the trachea in cases where too much tissue...
A 61-year-old man was treated for laryngeal squamous cell cancer with radiation in 2004. He presented again in 2012, with squamous cell cancer on the floor of his mouth. He...
Tracheocutaneous fistulas are infrequent complications of prolonged tracheostomies. This video explains the technique used at the authors’ institution for closure of a tracheocutaneous fistula in the context of a clinical...
The authors present the case of a 65-year-old male patient who, during an episode of pneumonia, underwent a bronchoscopy that revealed a right upper lobe (RUL) endobronchial lesion. The biopsy...
