Background: Non-intubated thoracoscopic surgery is an evolving form of minimally-invasive thoracic surgery.

Background: Venous thromboembolism is an important patient safety issue in thoracic surgery patients.

Results: Video-assisted thoracic surgery revealed minimal to strong adhesions in all ten patients.

This imaging technology contributes to safer thoracic surgery, especially thoracoscopic surgery.

Background: Little has been published regarding outcomes subsequent to complications after thoracic surgery.

Thus, simultaneous video-assisted thoracic surgery for the bilateral tumors was performed.

Patients and methods: Non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing thoracic surgery were eligible.

However, there were few data concerning the risk prediction for general non-cardiac thoracic surgery.

The reconstruction of extensive tracheal defects is still an unsolved challenge for thoracic surgery.

These infections usually originate from a hematogenous spread after thoracic surgery or dental procedure.

Objective: Currently epidural anesthesia is the gold standard for postoperative pain management in thoracic surgery.

She was then successfully treated with video-assisted thoracic surgery.

Patients and methods: Patients with proven or highly probable NSCLC referred for thoracic surgery were eligible.

Conclusions: Among patients in a thoracic surgery ICU, the rates of morbidity and mortality are high.

Conclusion: Fast-track protocol for children undergoing uncomplicated thoracic surgery for CPAM seems feasible without extra morbidity.

This problem may extend beyond the boundaries of pediatric general and thoracic surgery to other specialties.
