which drain fluid and blood out of thechest cavityin addition to helping to maintain reexpansion of the remaining lung.Chest radiographs(CXRs) are generally taken daily to determine when the chest tubes can be removed, the timing of which varies greatly from patient to patient. BothCXRandCTmay...
A wedge resection is done to remove a small portion of diseased lung, a small tumor, or a portion of lung cancer. The surgery is done if the disease has been caught early, and a part is removed to prevent further spreading of the cancer or disease. ...
Thoracoscopic surgery is decidedly expanded by the ability to perform pulmonary wedge resections of the lung by using the Endo -GIA-stapler. In addition to thoracoscopic biopsies, since July 1991 we have carried out wedge resections in 12 patients suffering from spontaneous pneumothorax (nine) or ...
This procedure is most commonly used in the management of lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer, although it can also be used for cancers in other regions of the body, such as ovarian cancer. It is performed on a patient under general anesthesia by an experienced surgeon and ...

Additional blue dye is injected at the lung surface. During VATS, a sterile gamma probe is used to identify the area of radioactivity and plan placement of staple lines performed by an endostapling instrument. Palpation and the presence of radioactivity in the specimen supported the resection of ...
The function of an oral airway device is to provide unobstructed air passage from mouth to naso-oro-laryngo pharynx leading to trachea, bronchial tree and to its final destination—lung alveoli for ventilation. An oral airway device is a medical airway adjunct device used to open and maintain ...

In September 1993, a solitary lung tumor, 2.4 cm in diameter, appeared at the periphery of the right lung. Because the tumor was considered to be a metastatic HCC rather than a primary lung cancer, it was removed by thoracoscopic wedge resection. Although whether metastasectomy contributes to ...
