Department of Surgery, National Taiwan University Hospital, No. 7, Chung Shan South Road, Taipei, Taiwan. Email: [email protected]. Objective: Thoracoscopic surgery without endotracheal intubation is a novel technique for diagnosis and treatment of thoracic diseases. This study reported the experience of nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery in a tertiary medical center in Taiwan. Methods: From August 2009 through August 2013, 446 consecutive patients with lung or pleural diseases were treated by nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery. Regional anesthesia was achieved by thoracic epidural anesthesia or internal intercostal blockade. Targeted sedation was performed with propofol infusion to achieve a bispectral index value between 40 and 60. The demographic data and clinical outcomes were evaluated by retrospective chart review. Results: Thoracic epidural anesthesia was used in 290 patients (65.0%) while internal intercostal blockade was used in 156 patients (35.0%). The final diagnosis were primary lung cancer in 263 patients (59.0%), metastatic lung cancer in 38 (8.5%), benign lung tumor in 140 (31.4%), and pneumothorax in 5 (1.1%). The median anesthetic induction time was 30 minutes by thoracic epidural anesthesia and was 10 minutes by internal intercostal blockade.

Written by a number of experts in the field, it remains faithful to Kurt Toman’s original question-and-answer format, with subject matter grouped under the three headings Case detection, Treatment, and Monitoring. It is a testament to the enduring nature of the first edition that so much CASE DETECTION, TREA material has been retained unchanged. At the same time, the new edition has had not only to address the huge resurgence of tuber- culosis, the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacilli, and the special needs of HIV-infected individuals with tuberculosis, but also to encompass significant scientific advances. These changes in the profile of the disease and in approaches to management have inevitably prompted many new questions and answers and given a different complexion to others.

Correspondence to: Asli Tanrivermis Sayit. Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Ondokuz Mayis University, 55139, Atakum/Samsun, Turkey. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Tracheal diverticulum (DV) is a type of paratracheal air cyst (PTAC) that is often asymptomatic and usually detected incidentally by imaging methods. Tracheal DV are divided into two subgroups: congenital and acquired. Dysphagia, odynophagia, neck pain, hoarseness, hemoptysis, choking, and recurrent episodes of hiccups and burping can also be seen in symptomatic patients. Thin-section multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is useful for diagnosis of tracheal diverticulum. The relationship between DV and tracheal lumen can be demonstrated by axial, coronal, and sagittal reformat multiplanar images. Bronchoscopy can also be used in diagnosis for tracheal DV. However, the connection between DV and tracheal lumen can not be shown easily with bronchoscopy. Conservative treatment is the preferred treatment in asymptomatic patients. Surgical or conservative treatment can be performed for symptomatic patients, depending on patient age and physical condition. Keywords: Trachea; diverticulum (DV); thorax; multidetector computed tomography; tracheal diseases; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CODP) Submitted Sep 17, 2016.

  • Identification of Two Novel LAMP2 Gene Mutations in Danon Disease
    The Laryngoscope © 2016 the American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, Inc. Rotational Thyrotracheopexy After Cricoidectomy for Low-Grade Laryngeal Chrondrosarcoma László Rovó, MD, PhD; Ádám Bach, MD; Balázs Sztanó, MD, PhD; Vera Matievics, MD; Ilona Szegesdi, MD; Paul F. Castellanos, MD, FCCP Objectives:The complex laryngeal functions are fundamentally defined by the cricoid cartilage. Thus, lesions requiring subtotal or total resection of the cricoid cartilage commonly warrant total laryngectomy. However, from an oncological per­ spective, the resection of the cricoid cartilage would be an optimal solution in these cases. The poor functional results of the few reported cases of total and subtotal cricoidectomy with different reconstruction techniques confirm the need for new approaches to reconstruct the infrastructure of the larynx post cricoidectomy. Study Design:Retrospective case series review. Methods:Four consecutive patients with low-grade chondrosarcoma were treated by cricoidectomy with rotational thy­ rotracheopexy reconstruction to enable the functional creation of a complete cartilaginous ring that can substitute the func­ tions of the cricoid cartilage. The glottic structures were stabilized with endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy. Patients were evaluated with objective and subjective function tests. Results: Tumor-free margins were proven; patients were successfully decannulated within 3 weeks. Voice outcomes were adequate for social conversation in all cases. Oral feeding was possible in three patients. Conclusion:Total and subtotal cricoidectomy can be a surgical option to avoid total laryngectomy in cases of large chondrosarcomas destroying the cricoid cartilage. The thyrotracheopexy rotational advancement technique enables the effec­ tive reconstruction of the structural deficit of the resected cricoid cartilage in cases of total and subtotal cricoidectomy.
