Impact of pulmonary function on pulmonary complications after robotic-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy Open
OBJECTIVES Percentage-predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), and their predicted postoperative (ppo) values are established prognostic factors for postoperative pulmonary complic…

Video-assisted thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy for endobronchial neoplasm: a video case series Open
Lung cancer with endobronchial involvement presents a unique surgical challenge. Sleeve lobectomy has overtaken pneumonectomy as the standard principle of resection. Although video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has revolutionized m…

Excision of middle mediastinal parathyroid adenoma by videoscopic assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) Open
We report a case involving a female patient with primary hyperparathyroidism arising from a middle mediastinal parathyroid adenoma. Initial diagnosis was made based on a history of polyuria and recurrent renal colic. At the age of 77 she u…

MicroRNA Expression Profiling of Sputum for the Detection of Early and Locally Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Prospective Case–Control Study Open
Background: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with very poor overall survival because 70% of patients present with locally advanced or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. MicroRNAS (miRNAS) are a class of short, non…
