    Abstract Background: This study aims to evaluate surgical outcomes and prognosis in patients who underwent extended lung resection for locally advanced lung cancer.
    Methods: Between January 2015 and December 2019, a total of 61 patients (60 males, 1 female; mean age: 61.7±12.2 years; range, 32 to 90 years) with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer who underwent extended lung resection were retrospectively analyzed. Data including age, sex, comorbid diseases, symptoms, smoking status, pulmonary function test results, tumor location, methods used for preoperative tissue diagnosis, histopathological cell type, type of surgical resection, pathological stage, nodal involvement, postoperative complications, types of adjuvant therapy, and mortality rate were recorded. Survival and the factors affecting survival were examined.
    Results: Seven (11.4%) patients had Stage IIIB, 40 (65.5%) patients had Stage IIIA, and 14 (22.9%) patients had Stage IB disease. Intrapericardial pneumonectomy accounted for 30 (49.1%) of all extended lung resections. Chemotherapy was administered to 31 (50.8%) patients and chemoradiotherapy to 24 (39.3%) patients in the postoperative period. In the survival analysis, 70-month survival rate was calculated as 63.9% and the median survival was 48 months. There was a statistically significant association between survival with adjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy (p=0.003). The mortality rate at 70 months of follow-up was 36.1%.
    Conclusion: Extended lung resection contributes significantly to the improvement of survival rates in carefully selected locally advanced cases. Particularly with adjuvant chemotherapy, local recurrences can be prevented, and survival rates can be improved.

    Title translation Un caso de proteinosis alveolar pulmonar mal diagnosticado como neumonía Covid-19.
    Abstract A 48-year-old female patient with complaints of shortness of breath and coughing had bilateral diffuse infiltration in her chest X-ray and diffuse ground-glass opacities in her chest computed tomography. Despite her polymerase chain reaction test being negative, she was treated 10 days for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia due to her radiological images and clinical hypoxia. As there was no improvement in her symptoms, she was administered fiberoptic bronchoscopy and she was diagnosed with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). PAP can be confused with COVID-19 pneumonia due to their similar clinical and radiological appearances.

    Abstract This report presents the case of a patient with a pulmonary hydatid cyst. The patient underwent laparotomy for hepatic and splenic cysts, and cystotomy and capitonnage were perfomed using a transdiaphragmatic intervention. The pulmonary hydatid cyst was located at the base of the lung and near the diaphragm. The diaphragm was cut about 5 cm at the front, and the thorax was entered.The pulmonary cyst was treated intraabdominally. This technique is effective and safe, and it prevents the patient from undergoing a second operation. The suggestion is that this technique, which has not been defined before, can be applied safely in carefully selected patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Raynaud's disease is a disorder that is characterized by attacks of pain, cyanosis, redness, and numbness in the upper extremities caused by vasospasm of digital arteries due to cold or emotional stress. We aimed at demonstrating our experiences with endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) in the treatment of Raynaud's disease.
    Methods: From 48 patients who underwent ETS for various reasons at our department between January 2014 and January 2015, we reviewed 9 patients with Raynaud's disease (18.7%) with respect to their demographic characteristics such as gender and age, postoperative complications, short-term results, side effects, recurrence of symptoms, and long-terms results.
    Results: The symptoms and findings reappeared and the number and dosage of the drugs used returned to their preoperative levels in 66.6% of the patients at month 6, and in all patients except 1 at the end of the 1st year.
    Conclusion: ETS should be considered an ultimate choice for patients with Raynaud's disease who have treatment-resistant severe symptoms and serious complications, disturbed social and daily lives, and impaired quality of life, and all patients should be properly informed before the surgery about the possibility of a high rate of recurrence.

    Abstract Objective:Pneumothorax (PNX) and subcutaneous emphysema (SCE) have increased in importance as a frequently occurring complication. This study aimed to reveal the frequency, timing, and possible risk factors in patients with PNX and SCE who are followed up with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis in our tertiary intensive care unit (ICU).Materials and Methods:All patients with confirmed COVID-19 who were followed up and treated in our unit between August 8, 2020, and February 20, 2021, in a 16-bed tertiary ICU and who developed PNX and SCE during their hospitalization were included.Results:PNX and SCE developed in 16 (9.6%) of 165 patients who were followed up in our ICU due to COVID-19. Of these 16 patients, 3 (18.8%) survived. The median age of patients was 66.5 years (interquartile range: 58.5-75.5). Diabetes mellitus was the most common comorbidity in patients with PNX and SCE. Additionally, 12 (75%) patients had a smoking history. Of 15 (93.8%) patients who developed PNX, 4 (25%) were bilateral, and SCE developed in 9 (56.3%) patients. Twelve (75%) patients with PNX and SCE were under invasive mechanical ventilation, 3 (18.8%) under spontaneous breathing, and 1 (6.2%) under non-invasive mechanical ventilation treatment. The number of oxygen support days until the time PNX and SCE developed was 9 (6.25-17) days in the whole group, the median time was 6 days in the survival group and 9 days in the non-survival group.Conclusion:In the COVID-19 pandemic, complications, such as PNX and SCE, are more frequently observed (9.5%) than in the general intensive care population and the later period of intensive care admission (median 9 days). Smoking is defined as a risk factor in most of these patients; however, increased PNX rates are thought to be related to both COVID-19 pneumonia and parenchymal damage due to cytokine storms.

    Abstract Introduction: The perforation of the superior vena cava during the placement of dialysis catheter and consequent hemothorax is a rare serious complication.
    Case report: Dialysis catheter was placed in the left subclavian vein in a 69-year-old male patient with chronic renal insufficiency who was hospitalized for intracerebral hematoma. During hemodialysis a day after the procedure, the patient was noted having right-sided hemothorax, causing lethargy, dyspnea, hypotension, and bradycardia. Right tube thoracostomy was performed and 1500 cc of hemorrhagic fluid was drained. Under general anesthesia, the right posterolateral thoracotomy was performed and the tip of the dialysis catheter was found in the pleural space, penetrating the anteromedial side of the superior vena cava. The perforation area was repaired by suturing with 3-0 prolene, and the dialysis catheter was removed externally. Postoperative period was uneventful, and tube thoracostomy was terminated on day 4.
    Conclusion: Establishing the diagnosis early and accurately and performing appropriate surgery would be lifesaving in superior vena cava perforation due to dialysis catheter.

    Abstract Fixation of the chin to the anterior chest wall is the most commonly used method of reducing anastomotic tension following a segmental resection of the trachea and reconstruction with primary anastomosis. However, the sutures required for this method may lead to various organic and psychological problems. In five patients who underwent tracheal resection and primary anastomosis, retention sutures were placed on the proximal and distal-lateral edges of the anastomotic line rather than placing a Guardian chin stitch. All patients were mobilised in the early postoperative period and were able to perform their routine daily activities without restrictions. During their average 14.4 months of follow-up, no complications were found in their anastomotic lines during their clinical, radiological, and bronchoscopic assessments. The placement of tracheal retention sutures proved an inexpensive and reliable method to reduce anastomotic tension without additional surgical burden, and was effective in terms of patient comfort.
