    Abstract Although the WHO has declared the end of the pandemic emergency, COVID-19 still poses a threat to immunocompromised patients. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread throughout the world over the last two years, causing a significant number of deaths. After three years, SARS-CoV-2 has lost its initial lethality but has shown a significantly worse prognosis for immunocompromised patients, especially those who have undergone lung transplantation, compared with the general population. This paper presents two compelling case studies that highlight the complex challenges of COVID-19 infection in lung transplant recipients. The first case involves a patient who received a bilateral lung transplant for pulmonary artery hypertension in 2009, followed by a kidney transplant in 2022. Surprisingly, despite an initially favorable clinical course after contracting COVID-19, the patient deteriorated rapidly and died within a few days due to extensive lung involvement. This case highlights the unpredictable nature of COVID-19 and its potentially devastating impact on lung transplant recipients. The second case involves a patient who underwent bilateral lung transplantation five years earlier for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This individual also contracted COVID-19 and had pre-existing complications, including chronic lung allograft rejection (CLAD) and diffuse bronchial stenosis. Following viral infection, the patient's clinical condition deteriorated rapidly, with worsening bronchial stenosis. This case highlights the ability of COVID-19 to exacerbate pre-existing pulmonary complications in transplant recipients. These cases highlight the urgent need for increased vigilance and tailored management strategies when dealing with COVID-19 in lung transplant recipients. The unpredictable and detrimental course of the disease observed in these patients highlights the importance of implementing stringent preventive measures, such as vaccination and strict adherence to infection control protocols, in this vulnerable population. Further research is essential to gain a full understanding of the unique dynamics of COVID-19 in lung transplant recipients and to develop targeted interventions to improve their outcomes.

    Abstract Internal mammary lymphadenopathy may develop in breast cancer patients with silicone implants. Differential diagnosis includes malignant recurrence, infections, inflammations and granulomatous deposit. We report a case of internal mammary lymphadenopathy, in a patient with the previous history of breast cancer, requiring a tissue diagnosis. We performed a Robotic lymph nodes dissection of the left internal mammary. Final pathology diagnosis was positive for silicone granulomatous lymphadenitis secondary to silicone breast implants inserted after mastectomy for breast cancer.

    Abstract A Correction has been published | View Neurogenic tumors represent 10 to 34% of all mediastinal tumors and among them, neurofibroma originating from the vagus nerve are rare entities. We present a case of a neurofibroma with cystic degeneration originating from the left branch of the vagus nerve in a 27-year-old man without von Recklinghausen disease. A complete robotic resection of the mediastinal mass has been performed, with amputation of the vagus nerve enclosed in the mass. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged in two days.

    Abstract The last British Society of Thoracic Surgeons guidelines of 2010 for the management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) stated that, after the first recurrence, the treatment of PSP should be a surgical operation, like a bullectomy accompanying with a procedure for inducing pleural adhesions. Therefore, the surgical approach is considered the best treatment to minimise the risk of recurrence in patients who experienced a PSP. There is substantial evidence in the literature demonstrating that the minimally invasive approach should be preferred to the thoracotomic procedure since it can reduce the postoperative pain and it is associated with a faster recovery of the physical and working activity. The video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) approach has been shown to offer greater advantages about patient pain and respiratory function when compared to thoracotomic incisions. A single port or single incision or uniportal approach was developed as an alternative to the standard multi-port VATS. Uniportal technique has shown to be safe and efficient not only for pulmonary resections and biopsies but also for lobectomy. When used for PSP, the bullectomy/blebectomy and pleural abrasion/pleurectomy is performed through the single incision through which the chest drain is then inserted. In this perspective, evidence showed that the minimally invasive approach should be preferred, confirming the advantages in comparison with traditional techniques.
