Applications for a hybrid operating room in thoracic surgery: from multidisciplinary procedures to image-guided video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery

ABSTRACT The concept of a hybrid operating room represents the union of a high-complexity surgical apparatus with state-of-the-art radiological tools (ultrasound, CT, fluoroscopy, or magnetic resonance imaging), in order to perform highly effective, minimally invasive procedures. Although the use of a hybrid operating room is well established in specialties such as neurosurgery and cardiovascular surgery, it has rarely been explored in thoracic surgery. Our objective was to discuss the possible applications of this technology in thoracic surgery, through the reporting of three cases

Apesar de bem estabelecido em outras especialidades, como neurocirurgia e cirurgia cardiovascular, o uso da sala hibrida ainda é pouco explorado na cirurgia torácica. Nosso objetivo foi discutir as aplicações e as possibilidades abertas por essa tecnologia na cirurgia torácica através do relato de três casos.Univ Sao Paulo, Fac Med, Disciplina Cirurgia Torac, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilHosp Israelita Albert Einstein, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Escola Paulista Med, Disciplina Torax, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilCtr Paulista Oncol, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Escola Paulista Med, Disciplina Torax, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilWeb of Scienc

A Video-Assisted Endotracheal Suture Technique for Correction of Distal Tracheal Laceration After Intubation

The incidence of tracheal laceration is 1 of 20,000 intubations. the most frequently affected area is the posterior tracheal wall (membranous). Risk factors include several forced attempts at intubation, inexperience of the clinician, tracheal introducers (guidewires) that protrude beyond the tip of the tube, and emergency procedures. Surgical treatment of tracheal lacerations can be by a transtracheal suture technique or a right thoracotomy. Using the concept of minimally invasive surgical procedures, we reported the treatment of 2 patients with tracheal lacerations greater than 5 cm in the distal trachea that were treated with endotracheal video-assisted suturing using a cervical incision.
