Disease relevance of Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted

We subsequently performed a radioguided parathyroidectomy via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to resect this parathyroid adenoma and used intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) testing to confirm cure and avoid neck exploration [1].
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between April 1994 and April 2001, 313 consecutive patients (minocycline group) with primary spontaneous pneumothorax were treated by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery [2].
Pathological findings of the ground-glass opacities and the mass lesion obtained by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery revealed the accumulation of eosinophilic amorphous material in the alveoli and confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) [3].

High impact information on Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted

The aim of this study was to address our experience with the management of SFTPs and to evaluate the advantage of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in SFTP treatment [4].
Plasma concentration of ropivacaine after intercostal blocks for video-assisted thoracic surgery [5].
Pulmonary function after lobectomy: video-assisted thoracic surgery versus thoracotomy [6].
We studied intensity of pain, cumulative morphine consumption, ventilatory and renal function, and haemostasis in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and receiving a 2-day i.v. infusion of diclofenac, ketorolac or saline [7].
BACKGROUND: The objective of the study was to analyze the efficiency of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for the treatment of primary (PSP) or secondary (SSP) spontaneous pneumothorax in an initial series of 99 patients [8].

Associations of Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted with chemical compounds

In 3 patients with a limited follow-up evaluated postoperatively, video-assisted thoracic surgery and the Argon Beam Coagulator seemed to be beneficial for treating advanced, generalized bullous disease [9].
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has used a variety of preoperative techniques to localize deep pulmonary nodules including wires, plain methylene blue, colored collagen, indigo carmine, India ink, and barium [10].

Gene context of Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted

Patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery and wedge resection had a mean hospital stay of 5.1 days; video-assisted thoracic surgical lobectomy was performed in 38 patients, who had a mean stay of 6.3 days [11].
We report the case of a 45-year-old man treated with intrathoracic hyperthermo-chemotherapy (IPHC) under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for malignant pleural dissemination originating from invasive thymoma [12].
