Six patients were excluded from exploratory surgery or polylobectomy: five were excluded for benign lung lesions, one was excluded for autoimmune disease, and one was excluded for cognitive impairment. 3 Treatment The conventionally treated group received (a) admission education, including information on...
Preoperative FeNO is a predictor of delayed lung function recovery 3months after lobectomy in lung cancer patients. The impact had extended to VC and FEV1. Although this impact is temporary, early postoperative intervention is expected to reduce the adverse effect.Okamoto, Keigo...
Eighty-two valid responses from HCPs across 34 out of the 36 centres (response rate 94%) that perform lung lobectomy surgery in the UK were analysed. Though a total of 125 responses were received, 3 worked in centres that do not perform lobectomy and 40 answered only the first question and...
One chest tube was placed through the camera port after lobectomy. The chest tube was adjusted with side holes made between the diaphragm and the lung lobe to drain pleural effusion. After surgery, all patients were given multimodal analgesia....
Studies concerned with the influence of personality variables on recovery from surgery are critically reviewed. There is some evidence that high levels of neuroticism or trait-anxiety are associated with more distress and slower recovery from surgery. Evidence concerning other personality variables is less...

The form included the following content: (1) demographic data: age, sex, BMI, ASA grade, smoking history, frailty status (the FRAIL scale), etc.; (2) medical history: snoring, hypertension, diabetes, lung disease and hypohemia; (3) surgery-related factors: surgical site (e.g., oral ...
Sitting at a console that looks like a video game, Gary Chmielewski, MD, is performing complex lung surgery.

The optimal surgical technique for lobectomy in lung cancer is not well defined. Proponents of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) hypothesize that less trauma leads to quicker recovery, whereas those who advocate thoracotomy claim it... BJ Park,MJ Weyant,ES Venkatraman,... - 《Lung Cancer》...
