Commentary: second ipsilateral metachronous lung cancer: what to do?
No full textThe article by Hattori and colleagues1 deals with an interesting and still not sufficiently explored issue in thoracic
surgery: the role of repeated anatomic resection for radical
treatment of second metachronous ipsilateral non–small
cell lung cancer (NSCLC
Stenting treatment is a minimally traumatic and effective alternative to surgical repair for iatrogenic tracheobronchial lesion
Full text linkIatrogenic tracheobronchial injuries are rare but lifethreatening events, most frequently due to complication
of endotracheal intubation or percutaneous tracheostomy.
Their incidence is low (0.005–0.2% after double lumen
or emergency single lumen intubation and up to 0.7%
after percutaneous tracheostomy), but related mortality
can be high and has been generally reported between
11% and 42% (1-5). Surgical repair has been considered
the treatment of choice for a long time. More recently,
along with the progressive evolution of interventional
bronchoscopy, minimally invasive endoscopic treatment has
gained diffusion as an effective alternative
The role of lymphadenectomy in lung cancer surgery
No full textAdequate lymphadenectomy represents a fundamental procedure in lung cancer surgery for accurate staging and potential survival benefit. Various techniques are used in current surgical practice for the intraoperative lymph node removal associated with pulmonary resection, without definitive indications concerning the preferable option. Different studies in the last decades have compared complete mediastinal lymph node dissection with lymph node sampling regarding their effect on long-term survival, recurrence rate, accuracy of pathologic staging, and surgical morbidity. Literature data and technical aspects of lymph node dissection are reported and discussed in this article
