Two surgical techniques have been developed in our laboratory to deal with identifiable problems in long-term artificial heart experiments. A right thoracotomy is used to deal with problems such as extensive bleeding, which occur in the immediate postoperative stage of the experiment, while a left thoracotomy is used in cases in Which the original implantation is preceded by more than one week, since extensive adhesions complicate the right thoracotomy at that stage. Pulmonary problems have been eliminated as a primary cause of difficulties after reoperation, but infection remains a serious problem.

Nutrition Programme

A man with severe peripheral vascular disease and requiring total parenteral nutrition because of short bowel syndrome was referred because a central venous catheter could not be inserted by conventional techniques. A right thoracotomy was performed and a Hickman catheter inserted via the right atrial appendage into the right atrium. This catheter was used for a total of seven months for total parenteral nutrition. For the last two months of this time, the patient was maintained at home on a Home Parenteral Nutrition Programme. After four months of total parenteral nutrition the patient developed recurrent fevers and the catheter was found to have migrated from the right atrium into the pulmonary artery. The catheter was resited under x-ray control and used for a further three months until the recurrence of fever and dyspnoea heralded the onset of septic pulmonary emboli resulting in his death.

Background Tracheobronchial injury is a rare and serious outcome of thoracic trauma. The aim of this study was to describe our experience in the management of tracheobronchial injuries. Methods We reviewed the presentation, line of management, and results of all 23 patients (17 males and 6 females) with a mean age of 27.87 years, who presented with traumatic tracheobronchial injuries and were admitted to the level 3 trauma center of our university emergency hospital over an eight-year period. Results Blunt trauma was the leading cause (73.9%) of injury. Bronchoscopy was routinely performed. A right thoracotomy was carried out in 73.9% of patients. The right main bronchus was the most common site of injury (30.4%), followed by the trachea in 26.1%. Pulmonary resection was undertaken in 5 cases. Three operative mortalities were recorded. Conclusion Tracheobronchial injuries can be treated conservatively or ideally by surgical repair which is the core line of treatment. Surgery has excellent outcomes depending on skillful use of bronchoscopy and the surgeon’s experience of the surgical approach and technique.

Background: We aimed to report the demographic characteristics with diagnosis and treatment methods in patients with concomitant hepatopulmonary hydatid cysts. Methods: Over a ten-year period (from 2002–2020) in Konya, Turkey, surgery was performed on 52 patients with hepatopulmonary hydatid cyst. Main outcome measure(s) were 52 hydatid cysts patients, which had cysts both in the liver and lungs, were investigated regarding their age, gender, cyst localization, suppuration, symptoms, and treatment methods. Results: Seventeen of the patients were males. Their mean age was 39.7±18.8 years. The most common occupation was housewifery. The most common symptom was coughing and none of the patients with concomitant hepatopulmonary hydatid cysts was asymptomatic. The pulmonary hydatid cysts were mostly encountered in the right lung and the majority of the hepatic hydatid cysts were observed in the right lobe. The mean hospitalization time of the operated patients was 17.12±6.7 days. Conclusion: In patients with hydatid cysts localized concomitantly in the right lung and subdiaphragmatic area, right thoracotomy for the pulmonary cyst and a transdiaphragmatic approach for the hepatic cyst is a safe, effective, and comfortable method.

Background. A severe blunt injury to the chest might cause rupture of the tracheobronchial tree. A certain time following the management of the injury, stenosis of the bronchi may develop at the site of the rupture. Case report. We reported a patient injured in a traffic accident. The injury was followed by the signs of pneumothorax, bleeding, and respiratory insufficiency. After the management of the injury using thoracal drainage, the condition of the injured was stabilized. Two weeks later, however, difficulties in breathing and fatigue occurred. Circular stenosis of the right major bronchus was clinically, radiographically and bronchoscopically confirmed. Right thoracotomy and circular resection of the major bronchus with termino-terminal anastomosis were performed. Conclusion. In severe blunt injuries to the chest, it is very important to suspect the injury of the tracheobronchial tree in order to correctly understand the clinical signs of an injury and to interprete a radiographic image of it, so as to decide upon the optimal treatment on time.

Static and dynamic mechanical characteristics of the respiratory system were measured in five adult foxhounds 6–15 mo after right pneumonectomy (R-PNX) and in five matched foxhounds that underwent right thoracotomy without pneumonectomy (Sham). In R-PNX dogs, elastic recoil was lower than that in the left lung of Sham dogs. On exercise, absolute ventilatory power requirements of the lung and its components were measured, i.e., power requirements to overcome elastic and viscous resistances of the lung as well as power requirements during inspiration and expiration. All components were higher for a given minute ventilation in R-PNX dogs than in both lungs of Sham dogs. Ventilatory power requirements after R-PNX were also higher than in three adult foxhounds after left PNX studied previously by the same techniques. After R-PNX, the mass of the right costal diaphragm and total mass of inspiratory muscles were greater than in Sham dogs. There were no significant differences in ultrastructural features of the costal diaphragm. The unilateral increase in muscle mass is likely the result of chronic elevation and stretch of the right costal diaphragm after R-PNX.

A 24-year-old man was investigated for dyspnea and swelling of the right side of the neck with pain in the right shoulder, which had developed over the previous year. Hydatid cyst of the right first rib was diagnosed by chest radiography and computed tomography. Serology for hydatid disease was negative. The cysts and the first rib were excised via a right thoracotomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histology revealed multilocular echinococcal lesions.

Primary Presentation

A 70-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of increasing breathlessness. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest confirmed a well-defined cystic lesion abutting the mediastinum in the right hemi thorax measuring 8 × 6 cm. She underwent a right thoracotomy to excise the cystic lesion. Biopsies for histology demonstrated metastatic serous ovarian epithelial carcinoma. We report a very unusual primary presentation of ovarian epithelial carcinoma as a single cystic mediastinal mass. We also include a brief review of the literature.

Introduction. Tracheobronchial disruption is a rare disorder, usually accompanied by a severe blunt chest trauma that quite rarely appears as an isolated event. Case Report. This is a case report of a right main bronchus disruption, due to an injury to the right hemithorax, caused by a falling tree trunk. The disruption was accompanied by mediastinal emphysema, fractures of the 4th and 5th ribs on the right side and compound sternal fracture. The patient was operated in general anesthesia, through right thoracotomy approach, followed by successful right main bronchus reconstruction by interrupted suture technique, without anatomic resection of the lung parenchyma. Conclusion. Although this injury is rare, with suspicion of bronchial rupture, bronchoscopy confirms the diagnosis and leads to better prognosis.
