Lung Capacity01:47

Lung Capacity

56.4K
The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.

Pleura of the Lungs01:13

Pleura of the Lungs

7.4K
The lungs are nestled in a cavity, shielded by the pleura. The pleura, a form of serous membrane, wraps around each lung. This membrane arrangement consists of two layers: the visceral and parietal pleurae. The visceral pleura lines the surface of the lungIn contrast, the parietal pleura is the outer layer and contacts to the thoracic wall, the mediastinum, and the diaphragm. The hilum is the point of connection between the visceral and parietal layers. The space between the parietal and...

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs

The lungs are a pair of vital organs connected to the trachea via the left and right bronchi. The base of these organs meets the dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm. Encased by the pleurae, the lungs contact the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter yet wider, and has a larger volume than the left lung. The left lung has an indentation known as the cardiac notch. The superior region of the lungs is referred to as the apex, whereas the base is the lower region near the diaphragm. The...

Cancer02:18

Cancer

54.4K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

What is Cancer?

14.4K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

1.1K
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

[BRONCHOPLASTY FOR LUNG CANCER].

    Summary

    Bronchoplasty preserves lung function and improves quality of life in lung cancer patients. Sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty is a safe alternative to pneumonectomy, reducing complications and preserving lung parenchyma.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Pneumonectomy for lung cancer often leads to significant postoperative complications, reduced quality of life, and cardiopulmonary dysfunction.
    • Long-term issues like pulmonary hypertension and respiratory failure can arise post-pneumonectomy, making it a procedure with considerable morbidity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe surgical techniques for bronchoplastic procedures in lung cancer treatment.
    • To compare the surgical outcomes of sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty against those of pneumonectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical techniques for bronchoplasty, including sleeve lobectomy, double-sleeve, and extended-sleeve lobectomy.
    • Comparative analysis of literature data on sleeve lobectomy versus pneumonectomy outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Bronchoplasty, particularly sleeve lobectomy, preserves functional lung parenchyma, leading to better postoperative quality of life.
    • Sleeve lobectomy demonstrates lower mortality and morbidity rates compared to pneumonectomy, establishing it as a viable alternative.

    Conclusions:

    • Sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty is an accepted standard treatment for select lung cancer patients, offering a lung-sparing approach.
    • Bronchoplastic procedures are crucial for radical cure while maintaining lung function and improving patient outcomes.
