Blunt Trauma and Right Diaphragmatic Rupture: Unveiling the Impact
Alves, D; Sousa, J; Eurico Reis, J; Ribeiro, R; Calvinho, PTraumatic diaphragmatic ruptures are rare, yet blunt injuries tend to be more easily overlooked compared to penetrating trauma. The minimal evidence of external injuries makes a high index of suspicion key for diagnosis. We report the case of a right-sided thoracoabdominal blunt trauma that resulted in a diaphragmatic rupture and fractured rib. Although often approached through a midline laparotomy, a definitiv...
Combined Lung-Kidney Transplantation: First Case in Portugal
Silva, D; Dantas, C; Santos, AS; Silva, C; Aires, I; Remédio, F; Carrelhas, S; Pena, A; Eurico Reis, J; Calvinho, P; Semedo, L; Cardoso, J; Nolasco, FA significant dysfunction of another organ is usually considered an absolute contraindication for lung transplantation, unless multiorgan transplantation is indicated and practical, as is the case of combined lung-kidney transplantation. Few cases of combined lung-kidney transplantation have been described in the literature; however, it is known that, in certain cases, it is the only way to offer an opportunity...
Major Pulmonary Surgery in Patients with Compromised Lung Function
Gonçalves Pereira, R; Branco, J; Narciso Rocha, F; Figueiredo, C; Costa, AR; Santos Silva, J; Eurico Reis, J; Calvinho, PIntroduction: The risk stratification of lung resection is fundamentally based on the results of pulmonary function tests. In patients considered to be at risk, major surgery is generally denied, opting for potentially less curative therapies. Objective: To evaluate the postoperative outcomes of major lung surgery in a group of patients deemed high risk. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of clinical ...
Segmentectomia Pulmonar Anatómica por Videotoracoscopia: Experiência Inicial de...
Eurico Reis, J; Bravio, I; Baptista, P; Martelo, FThe use of minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of lung cancer has been growing worldwide. Between May 2008 and November 2012, we performed 24 videothoracoscopic anatomical lung resections in our department. This includes 22 lobectomies and 2 anatomic segmentectomies, which is known to be a more complex surgery, since it demands a finer dissection of sub-lobar structures. We report the clinical cases of...
