Two‐Site Thoracoscopic Surgery for Extra‐Pulmonary Sequestration Using an Extraction Wound: Five Pediatric Cases With Favorable Cosmetic Outcomes

Asian Journal of Endoscopic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Many institutions perform thoracoscopic surgery for pediatric extrapulmonary sequestration (EPS). This approach achieves good cosmetic outcomes due to the small skin incision in comparison to open surgery. However, an extension or additional incision is sometimes necessary to extract resected specimens from the thoracic cavity, which reduces ...

Diagnostic Role of Plateletcrit in Pleural Effusion

International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Objectives: Pleural effusion arises from either increased fluid production or reduced absorption within the pleural space. In instances where thoracentesis is contraindicated or unfeasible, alternative, less invasive diagnostic approaches are necessary.

Efficacy and Safety of Bupivacaine Liposomal in Intercostal Nerve Block for Postoperative Pain Management Following Uniportal Thoracoscopy: A Randomized Trial

Pain Research and Management, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Postoperative pain in thoracic surgery often requires opioids, yet can be poorly managed with short‐acting anesthetics. Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) offers prolonged analgesia, potentially improving pain control and reducing opioid use. This study evaluates LB’s effectiveness and safety in thoracic postoperative pain management, aiming to ...

Early patient‐reported outcomes after robotic‐assisted versus video‐assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 15, Issue 20, Page 1563-1571, July 2024.
Key question: Are there any advantages of robotic‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) compared to video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) from the patient's perspective? Key findings: Patients who underwent RATS lobectomy for lung cancer experienced less pain, coughing, drowsiness, and distress, as well as less impairment in walking and activity.
