Single-Lumen Tube Intubation with CO2 Insufflation versus Double-Lumen Tube Intubation in Video-Assisted Transthoracic Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: A Retrospective Comparative Study
Background: Video-assisted transthoracic esophagectomy (VATE) is typically performed with double-lumen tube intubation (DLTI) to facilitate 1-lung ventilation. Single-lumen tube intubation (SLTI) with CO2 insufflation offers an alternative approach, enabling 2-lung ventilation with artificial…

Simultaneous Detection of Primary Pulmonary Paraganglioma and a Mediastinal Mass: A Case Report
Primary pulmonary paraganglioma (PPP) is an extremely rare neuroendocrine tumor. We present the case of a 71-year-old woman referred for dyspnea who was incidentally diagnosed with both a mediastinal mass and a pulmonary nodule. Chest computed tomography revealed an anterior mediastinal mass and a…

Long-term Results after Mitral Valve Replacement with Mechanical Prostheses in Children under 3 Years of Age
Background: This study investigated the long-term results of mitral valve replacement (MVR) using mechanical prostheses in children under 3 years of age. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 24 patients who underwent MVR with mechanical prostheses before the age of 3 years between 1996 and 2019…

Prognostic Significance of Circulating Tumor Cells in Patients with Esophageal Cancer Who Attained Pathological Complete Response after Neoadjuvant Therapy
Background: Pathological complete response (pCR) refers to the absence of residual tumor cells after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and is associated with favorable outcomes. However, 25%−33% of such patients still experience disease recurrence. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic…

The Impact of the Number of Ports on Perioperative Outcomes Following Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Non-Small- Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has emerged as a less invasive technique for treating resected lung cancer compared with open surgery. In recent years, the uniportal VATS technique has gained popularity for lung resection in small nodules and ground glass lesions. However, it remains…

Is Thoracic Computed Tomography Imaging Sufficient for Evaluating a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule?
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and trachea-conduit fistula (TCF) after esophagectomy are rare but life-threatening complications. Large or multiple fistulas are difficult to treat when standard resection and tracheal reconstruction are not feasible. A 70-year-old man developed an anastomotic…

Commentary: Is Combination Pleurodesis the Next Step in Managing Persistent Air Leak?
Background : : Persistent air leak (PAL) is a frequent and challenging complication of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) and often prolongs hospitalization. We compared the efficacy and safety of autologous blood patch pleurodesis (ABPP) plus doxycycline with those of ABPP alone for managing…

Commentary: A New Route to the Left Atrium: An Innovative Strategy for the Minimally Invasive Era
Background : : Minimally invasive surgical ablation has demonstrated favorable outcomes when performed during mitral and tricuspid valve procedures; however, its application in proximal aortic and aortic valve procedures remains challenging. We present the left atrial (LA) roof approach via upper…

Efficacy and Safety of Combined Autologous Blood Patch and Doxycycline Pleurodesis for the Management of Persistent Air Leaks in Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background : : Persistent air leak (PAL) is a frequent and challenging complication of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) and often prolongs hospitalization. We compared the efficacy and safety of autologous blood patch pleurodesis (ABPP) plus doxycycline with those of ABPP alone for managing…

Surgical Management of Congenital Lung Malformations: Indications, Timing, and Outcomes
Congenital lung malformations (CLMs) represent a heterogeneous group of developmental anomalies increasingly detected through prenatal imaging. The optimal management of asymptomatic patients remains controversial. This review summarizes current evidence regarding surgical indications, timing…

A Case of Primary Synovial Sarcoma of the Posterior Mediastinum: From Diagnostic Challenges to the Surgical Approach
Primary synovial sarcoma of the mediastinum is an extremely rare and aggressive neoplasm that, in most cases, develops in young adults and is characterized by symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain. Diagnosis is challenging due to the atypical location of the tumor. The…

Improving Blunt Thoracic Trauma Prognosis: Validation of the Study of the Management of Blunt Chest Wall Trauma Score against Injury Severity Score in an Indonesian Tertiary Hospital
Background : : Blunt thoracic trauma is a leading cause of trauma-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although the Injury Severity Score (ISS) is widely used to assess overall trauma severity, it lacks specificity for thoracic injuries. The Study of the Management of Blunt Chest Wall Trauma…

Salvage Repair Using an Esophagus-Conduit Segment In Situ as a Neo-Posterior Tracheal Wall for Multiple Tracheoesophageal and Trachea-Conduit Fistulas: A Case Report
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and trachea-conduit fistula (TCF) after esophagectomy are rare but life-threatening complications. Large or multiple fistulas are difficult to treat when standard resection and tracheal reconstruction are not feasible. A 70-year-old man developed an anastomotic…

Tumor Spread through Air Spaces in Early-Stage Lung Adenocarcinoma: Surgical Implications and Patient Management Strategies
Tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) is a recently recognized, clinically relevant invasive pattern in lung adenocarcinoma with important prognostic implications. Recognition of STAS has influenced ongoing discussions regarding the surgical management of non-small cell lung cancer. The…

Floating Intercostal Port Technique for Single-Port Robotic Resection of Posterior Mediastinal Schwannomas: A Case Report
Single-port (SP) robotic thoracic surgery is a minimally invasive option for mediastinal tumor resection; however, intercostal access remains challenging due to narrow intercostal spaces and the risk of postoperative neuralgia. This report describes 2 cases of posterior paravertebral mediastinal…
