Surgical planning is most effective when it is tailored to the patient. Specifically, in the treatment of selected chest wall tumors, the multidisciplinary approach is considered mandatory when an extensive demolition is required. Indeed, here, the radical wide en-bloc resection can lead to good results provided that the extent of resection is not ...

CRUCWs can be divided into three types. Surgical methods should vary with distinguished classifications. The effective classification of CRUCWs has definite instructive significance on the selection of surgical approaches.

目的： 探讨CT引导下氩氦刀冷冻消融治疗侵及胸壁或胸膜恶性肿瘤的可行性及近期疗效。 方法： 2012年1月至2015年1月间收治22例侵及胸壁或胸膜恶性肿瘤患者，均接受CT引导下氩氦刀冷冻消融术，分别于术后1、3、6个月行增强CT、增强磁共振成像(MRI)或正电子发射计算机体层摄影(PET－CT)检查，评价局部疗效，观察无进展生存时间(PFS)、术后疼痛缓解情况及术后并发症发生情况。 结果： 22例患者共27个病变，共接受26次氩氦刀冷冻消融术。根据术后即刻冰球覆盖病变范围分为冰球完全覆盖组(A组)和冰球未完全覆盖组(B组)，其中A组18例，B组4例。术后1个月，A组患者肿瘤完全消融15例，残留3例，3例患者均再次行氩氦刀冷冻消融术；B组患者肿瘤均有残留。术后3个月，A组患者肿瘤完全消融17...

Giant cell tumors of bone are relatively rare, benign, but locally aggressive osteolytic skeletal neoplasms of young adults. They usually affect the epiphyses of long bones, especially around the knee joint, and are rarely seen in the ribs. The mainstay of therapy is surgical resection. Herein, we report a case of successful resection in a patient ...

Extensive chest wall resection and reconstruction are a challenging procedure that requires a multidisciplinary approach, including input from thoracic surgeon, plastic surgeon and oncologist. In particular chest wall neoplastic pathology is associated with high surgical morbidity and can result in full thickness defects hard to reconstruct. The go...

Respiratory disease is the leading cause of death in the UK. Methods for assessing pulmonary function and chest wall movement are essential for accurate diagnosis, as well as monitoring response to treatment, operative procedures and rehabilitation. Despite this, there is a lack of low-cost devices for rapid assessment. Spirometry is used to measur...

Lung herniation is rare. We describe two cases; one cured by surgery, and the other observed without surgery. A 61-year-old man underwent minimally invasive cardiac surgery for mitral valve plasty. Four weeks postoperatively, chest computed tomography (CT) revealed exacerbating lung herniation and emergency surgery was performed. A 75-year-old man ...

Classically, muscular or omental flaps are the gold standard in the management of thoracic defects following radionecrosis debridement. Their vascular supply and antibacterial property was supposed to enhance healing compared with cutaneous flaps. The evolution of reconstructive surgery allowed us to challenge this dogma. Therefore, we present five...
