Preoperative Immersive Virtual Reality Planning and Simulation of Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Using Endobronchial Valves

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2025.
Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) with endobronchial valves is an established treatment for selected patients with advanced emphysema. Procedural success relies on accurate airway identification, valve sizing, and planning. This report emphasises the role of iVR in improving procedural precision, efficiency, and safety during bronchoscopic ...

Safety and Early Clinical Outcomes Following Repair of Very Large Hiatus Hernia in Octogenarians

World Journal of Surgery, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 1237-1245, May 2025.
Very large hiatus hernias are often symptomatic, impact quality of life, and are increasingly encountered in aging populations. Laparoscopic repair offers excellent clinical outcomes. However, surgeons can be reluctant to offer surgery to the elderly due to concerns about morbidity and mortality.

Survival Outcome of Thoraco‐Laparoscopic McKeown Esophagectomy Versus Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early‐Stage Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 16, Issue 9, May 2025.
A image summarizing the survival analysis of patients in the ESD group and the TLME group after propensity score matching. For clinical‐T1aN0 ESCC, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) demonstrated superior overall survival (OS) with comparable safety to thoraco‐laparoscopic McKeown esophagectomy (TLME).
