Pneumonectomy due to bronchus carcinoma after pleural empyema [PDF]
Pneumonectomy is a lung resection that is associated with significantly higher operative mortality and morbidity than lobectomy. Beside classical causes of operative morbidity, such as respiratory and cardiovascular, the most important cause of ...

ABSTRACT Background Mesothelioma is a rare tumor that arises from the serosal cells lining the serous cavities, most commonly the pleura followed by the peritoneum. Presenting symptoms include pleuritic pain and bloody effusions that recur. Although cytologic analysis cannot determine the mesothelial subtype or in situ from invasive disease, the ...

The side of pneumonectomy influences long-term survival in stage I and II non-small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND: The impact of pneumonectomy as an independent factor on long-term survival after lung resection for centrally or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial.

Among 351 patients undergoing pneumonectomy, the mortality was 6%, and when the operation was performed for malignant disease, the mortality was 8.5%. Much of the risk of the operation is associated with the age, physiologic state, and associated diseases which are prevalent in patients who require pneumonectomy.

The Unfinished Journey After Major Surgery: Interhospital Transfer and Care Fragmentation
Interhospital transfer (IHTR) is commonly used to access specialized surgical care, yet post‐discharge readmission destination among transferred surgical patients remains poorly characterized. Therefore, the association of IHTR and hospital transfer burden with care fragmentation after major surgery was evaluated. IHTR was strongly associated with care

Neoadjuvant Four-Drug Combination Therapy for NSCLC With EGFR Mutation Avoiding Total Pneumonectomy
We report a case of successful neoadjuvant four-drug combination therapy to avoid total pneumonectomy. A 33-year-old male patient was diagnosed with locally advanced non-squamous NSCLC harboring EGFR mutation in the left lower lobe.

Surgical excision is the cornerstone of treatment for low‐grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS). Primary lung LGFMS has been described very rarely in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about uniportal video‐assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy performed for a primary lung LGFMS. ABSTRACT Low‐grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS)

Right Pneumonectomy Syndrome A Late Life-Threatening Complication of Pneumonectomy
Background: Right pneumonectomy syndrome, a rare complication of pneumonectomy, is secondary to a shift of the mediastinum and remaining lung toward the pneumonectomy side, leading to extrinsic airway compression and stretching.Case: A 6-year-old boy ...
