Summary: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of a modified single incision non-thoracoscopic Nuss procedure in children with pectus excavatum (PE). The results showed that the modified procedure reduced operation time, postoperative inpatient stay, and blood loss compared to the traditional procedure. Additionally, the procedure led to a significant decrease in Haller index after bar removal.

Summary: Drainless, minimally invasive lobectomy appears to be feasible for selected lung cancer patients, with no major surgical complications noted during the perioperative period. Further evaluation is needed to assess its impact on short- and long-term surgical outcomes in the future.

Summary: This article reports a rare case of combined variation of bronchus and pulmonary vein in a 32-year-old male patient with lung adenocarcinoma. Three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography revealed the unique anatomical variation in the right upper lobe, and accurate combined pulmonary segmentectomy was performed.

Summary: In recent years, single-incision thoracoscopic surgery (SITS) has become increasingly popular for treating primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). This study explored the use of the sub-axillary cosmetic incision (SACI) technique for PSP surgery. The results showed that SACI is a safe and feasible method for treating PSP.

Summary: Most studies on laparoscopic ovarian prolapsed hernia operations focus on intracorporeal closure with limited sample sizes, while our study demonstrated successful outcomes using the single-incision laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure technique. The procedure of SILPEC was safely performed for the treatment of ovarian prolapsed inguinal hernia, with successful reversion of the ovaries into the abdominal cavity in all cases.

Summary: The study analyzed the overall survival (OS) of robotic-assisted lobectomy (RL), video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS), and open lobectomy (OL) performed by experienced thoracic surgeons across multiple institutions. The unadjusted 5-year OS rate was highest for OL, followed by RL and VATS. After adjustment, RL and OL were associated with higher OS compared with VATS. Further studies with longer follow-up are necessary to evaluate these observations.

Summary: In obese patients, robotic surgery (RTS) for lung resection is associated with a lower rate of conversion to thoracotomy compared to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). RTS patients have longer hospital stays, higher rates of respiratory failure, and are less likely to be discharged to their home compared to VATS patients.

Summary: The objective of this study was to analyze the outcomes of open lobectomy (OL), VATS, and robotic-assisted lobectomy (RL). The results showed that RL and VATS were associated with favorable perioperative outcomes compared to OL. RL also had a reduced length of stay and decreased conversion rate compared to VATS.

Summary: Neoadjuvant radiotherapy followed by minimally invasive surgery is a safe and effective treatment approach for patients with type B3 thymomas. This study analyzed the data of 11 patients and found that neoadjuvant radiotherapy can shrink the tumors and reduce the difficulty of surgery. The combination of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and minimally invasive thymectomy results in less postoperative pain and faster recovery.

Summary: Smoking habits and preoperative smoking cessation are independently associated with pulmonary complications after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer. A preoperative smoking cessation period of 2 months or more can reduce the risk of such complications.

Summary: This study compared the clinical efficacy of thoracoscopic surgery with the da Vinci surgical system and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of lung cancer. The results showed that thoracoscopic surgery with the da Vinci surgical system had shorter operative time, less intraoperative blood loss, better lymph node dissection, and lower intraoperative conversion rates compared to VATS. Furthermore, patients who underwent surgery with the da Vinci surgical system had improved lung function and quality of life, as well as a lower risk of surgical mistakes.

Summary: The study showed that acupuncture combined with multidisciplinary care for recovery in patients with traumatic multiple rib fractures (MRFs) was feasible and effective, reducing pain levels and increasing patient satisfaction. However, quality of life deteriorated, and more randomized trials are needed to further investigate the role of acupuncture combined with multidisciplinary care.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the risk factor for overall pulmonary complications in patients with blunt traumatic rib fractures. Age, injury severity score (ISS), and flail motion of the chest wall were identified as significant risk factors. A nomogram constructed using a multivariable logistic regression model showed good performance for predicting adverse pulmonary outcomes.
