| Surgical lung biopsy was performed by formal thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopy. |
|
| A posterolateral thoracotomy was performed and the chest was entered through the fifth interspace, with the left lung collapsed. |
|
| Immediately after thoracotomy, the pleural cavity was carefully washed with 100 mL of physical saline solution, and the fluid was examined. |
|
| A left posterolateral thoracotomy was performed in the 5th intercostal space. |
|
| Four of these patients underwent thoracotomy with decortication, but only one substantially improved. |
|
| He underwent a thoracotomy and open decortication and was discharged to home 5 days later. |
|
| Some benefit has been observed when using epidural opiates alone for mastectomy, thoracotomy, extremity surgery and lower abdominal surgery. |
|
| Techniques for pleurodesis include thoracotomy, thoracoscopy, chest tube insertion, and thoracentesis. |
|
| The patient was subsequently referred to our hospital, where he underwent thoracotomy with left upper lobectomy and partial pericardiectomy. |
|
| A thoracotomy was then performed through a standard right posterolateral thoracotomy incision. |
|
| The ability to perform this procedure without thoracotomy minimized his hospital stay and recovery time while not compromising the integrity of the plication. |
|
| Surgical therapy in the form of diaphragmatic plication is often reluctantly considered because of the potential morbidity and disability associated with thoracotomy. |
|
| After left posterolateral thoracotomy through the fourth intercostal space, a rib retractor was placed to luxate the left lung anteriorly. |
|
| A recruitment maneuver was performed to recruit the contralateral lung and medialize the mediastinum as the thoracotomy was closed. |
|
| I required an LHS full lateral thoracotomy, which involves opening up the chest. |
|
| She saw no wounds other than the one to the right side of her head and the thoracotomy wound. |
|
| Changes in technology have reduced the length of time required for the surgery but a thoracotomy is still necessary. |
|
| Open lung biopsy via thoracotomy was popularized in the 1960s. Before this time, transbronchial biopsy via a rigid bronchoscope or needle biopsies were used. |
|
| Three syngeneic animals and one animal with allograft had marked focal uptake of annexin V in a linear pattern corresponding to the left thoracotomy site. |
|
| Tracheostomy, nephrectomy, thoracotomy, colostomy, splenectomy, urostomy, craniotomy, embolectomy, ileostomy, cystostomy, cystectomy, gastrectomy, hepatectomy, prostatectomy, lobectomy, the list could go on. |
|
|
|
| In this case, removal of the sac through a cervical approach was possible, avoiding the need for a thoracotomy, as has been previously reported. |
|
| The patient underwent coil embolization of the left IMA to control the hemorrhage and thoracotomy for evacuation of the hematoma. |
|
| We did a minimal access anterio-axillary thoracotomy with an incision, seven inches long, just below the nipple. |
|
| She underwent a bronchoscopy and had a thoracotomy in April 2010 which meant her back was opened up and the whole upper lobe removed. |
|
| Thereby, the histopathologic diagnosis of pulmonary actinomycosis was achieved after diagnostic thoracotomy. |
|
| For pure lateral chest injuries, a lateral thoracotomy may be used with the patient in a lateral decubitus position, and the arms abducted 90° on padded arm rests. |
|
| In surgical laparotomy, thoracotomy and thoracoscopy procedures, nebulized application of Glubran 2 surgical glue is necessary in case of haemostasis, adhesion, sealing or suture reinforcement. |
|
| Effective pain relief with continuous intrapleural bupivacaine after thoracotomy in infants and children. |
|
| Further bronchoscopy, possibly followed by thoracotomy for bronchotomy or lobectomy was considered, should the foreign body prove impossible to remove endoscopically. |
|
| Previous studies have shown that hypobaric morphine has a longer duration of action compared with morphine plus dextrose when used for thoracotomy. |
|
| Open surgical repair of ARSA aneurysms usually requires thoracotomy and aortic grafting, which can be contraindicated in high-risk patients with multiple comorbidities. |
