    Notes: Abstract. A 68-year-old Chinese male with a history of renal cell carcinoma presenting with increasing shortness of breath and hemoptysis was found to have subtotal left main bronchial obstruction secondary to a metastatic endobronchial tumor. The mass was completely resected through a rigid ventilating bronchoscope, and a silicone stent was placed over the tumor bed in the left main bronchus. He remained asymptomatic with no evidence of bronchoscopic recurrence 4 months after the procedure. Obstructive endobronchial metastases from nonpulmonary primaries are rare. Endoluminal resection with stent placement can provide good palliation in this group of patients with limited survival.

    Port-site recurrence following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is an established modality in the management of pleural diseases. We report a case of port-site recurrence following management of malignant pleural effusion in an elderly patient with extensive pleural metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the lung. Although her shortness of breath was relieved following VAT decortication and talc insufflation, at 3 months she was found to have a 2.5-cm subcutaneous nodule at the camera port site which on biopsy was confirmed to be metastatic in nature. Even though the nodule was asymptomatic and the patient prognosis was not affected, it is important that both the surgeon and future patients should be aware of this potential complication.

    Video-assisted thoracoscopic management of anterior mediastinal masses (1995)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract The author reports his personal experience on the management of anterior mediastinal masses using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) at a single institution. From August 1993 to March 1995, 24 patients (14 males and 10 females ranging in age from 9 to 76 years old) with anterior mediastinal masses were diagnosed or treated by VATS. This consisted of 11 biopsies and 13 resections (11 thymectomies and 2 thymic cystectomies). Seven biopsies were performed for primary histological diagnosis (four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, two metastatic carcinoma, one yolk sac tumor) and four biopsies were performed to detect residual tumors following chemotherapy. Complete thymectomy was accomplished in all 11 cases by examination of the thymic bed and resected specimen. We have reserved this approach for resection of benign masses only. Adequate biopsy for histological diagnosis was obtained in all 11 cases to guide further management. There was no surgical mortality or intraoperative complications. The median postoperative hospital stay for the entire group was 3 days. We conclude that VATS for resection or biopsy of an anterior mediastinal mass is technically feasible and provides an alternative to the conventional approaches in selected patients.

    Notes: Abstract A 3-month-old Chinese girl with type I cystic adenomatoid malformation involving both lobes of her left lung was successfully operated upon using the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical (VATS) approach. The conventional endoscopic stapling device was used for resection without complications.

    One hundred consecutive cases of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (1995)

    Notes: Abstract We reviewed our experience on video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) from our first 100 cases of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) performed at our institution from September 1992 to January 1994. Apical bullae were identified in 87% of cases. Mechanical pleurodesis with Marlex mesh was performed on all patients. Excision with endoscopic staple cutter was performed in 69 cases; an endoloop was used in five cases; ablation with an argon beam coagulator (ABC) was done in six cases; excision with endoscopic suturing occurred in seven cases; and mechanical pleurodesis alone was used in 13 cases. The overall median postoperative chest tube duration was 2 days (range 1–25 days) and hospital stay 4 days (range 1–30 days). Complications occurred in 8 cases (8%): 1 wound infection; 1 chest wall bleeding; and 6 persistent air leaks which lasted for more than 10 days (one of which eventually required an axillary thoracotomy for control). Procedure failure with recurrence occurred in three cases (3%) at a mean follow-up of 17 months (range 8–24 months). The ABC group alone was responsible for one recurrence and two persistent leaks. We conclude that with the VATS approach in the treatment of PSP, staple resection of apical bullae is quick and most reliable but costly. Endoloop and hand suturing are applicable to selected patients with small and localized bullae and should be further studied, while our limited experience does not favor ABC as the primary treatment modality.
