The Prone Position for Elbow Arthroscopy
Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1991Using the prone position for diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy improves intraoperative stability of the arm and allows the surgeon to approach the joint in a more intuitive manner. With this position, indications for elbow arthroscopy are increased and risks to neurovascular structures are reduced.

Prone positioning of patients may optimise exposure for certain surgical procedures. There have been many published works that discuss the advantages of prone ventilation and how to nurse a patient who is lying in the prone position. However, there are very few empirical studies that describe how to place a patient in the prone position.

[Prone position in hysterosalpingography].
La Radiologia medica, 1984The authors discuss the importance of prone hysterosalpingography to the aim of a careful tubal examination. Nearly all the complete or partial tubal obstructions, observed during supine hysterosalpingography, have been resolved by the simple prone position.

Prone position breast irradiation
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1994An alternative technique for irradiating the breast following breast conserving surgery is described.The technique utilizes the prone position and has been developed to improve the dose distribution within the breast and reduce the volume of normal tissues irradiated during whole breast treatment. Improvements in the dosimetry of breast irradiation are

Prone-Positioning Therapy in ARDS
Critical Care Clinics, 2011The prone position has been used to improve oxygenation in patients with severe hypoxemia and acute respiratory failure since 1974. All studies with the prone position document an improvement in systemic oxygenation in 70% to 80% of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with maximal improvement seen in the most hypoxemic patients ...

Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy in the Prone Position
Hepatogastroenterology, 2011Thoracoscopic esophagectomy performed with the patient in the left lateral position has been occasionally reported since the 1990s, but it has not been established as a standard procedure. This may be because the success of this procedure largely depends on the technical competence of an assistant to secure an adequate field of view during the ...

Thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position
Surgical Endoscopy, 2012Minimally invasive esophageal surgery has arisen in an attempt to reduce the significant complications associated with esophagectomy. Despite proposed technical and physiological advantages, the prone position technique has not been widely adopted. This article reviews the current status of prone thoracoscopic esophagectomy.A systematic literature ...

The Prone Position for Esophagectomy
2017Esophagectomy allows for the most extensive lymphadenectomy for optimal management of the extremely aggressive characteristics of lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer. Despite improvements in the survival rate, however, the procedure is associated with significant operative morbidity and mortality rates owing to the extreme invasiveness of ...

Artificial ventilation in the prone position
Australian Critical Care, 1999Turning a ventilated patient into the prone position can greatly enhance arterial blood oxygenation independent of ventilator parameters. This article explores the physiology relating to pulmonary ventilation, highlighting an overall improvement in ventilation/perfusion matching as a result of the prone position.
