The Post-Landslide Collapse in Small Italian Villages

Donatella Cialdea, Fabio Massera

This work focuses on small towns and the need for post-disaster planning. While it is widely acknowledged that a shift from 'emergency planning' to 'aware spatial planning' is advisable, this simple concept often remains inapplicable, as we too often find ourselves having …

Comparative postoperative outcomes of autologous fibrin sealant pleurodesis versus talc pleurodesis in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax: a prospective cohort study

Sara Parini, Danila Azzolina, Erika Passone, Fabio Massera et autres

Background: Spontaneous pneumothorax often requires pleurodesis to prevent recurrence. Talc poudrage is effective but induces pleural inflammation. Autologous fibrin sealant offers a potentially less inflammatory alternative, but comparative data are limited. The objective of this study was to compare postoperative outcomes, including …

Pectoralis major myoplasty for closure of open window thoracostomy (March 2021). This video shows the dissection and rotation of a pectoralis major flap based on the thoracoacromial pedicle to close a post-pneumonectomy empyema space complicated by a late bronchopleural fistula. Postoperative follow-up confirmed flap viability and complete obliteration of the cavity.

Muscle flap reconstruction of the post-lung resection space: clinical cases involving latissimus dorsi, serratus anterior, and pectoralis major

Sara Parini, Fabio Massera, Erika Passone, Esther Papalia et autres

Background: Chronic empyema and bronchopleural fistula (BPF) are challenging complications after lung resection, often requiring surgical solutions when conservative treatments fail. This case report contributes to the literature by illustrating tailored use of different muscle flaps-including combined serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi, …

Use of the anatomical formulae for predicted postoperative (PPO) evaluation overestimates the loss of FEV1 and DLCO after minimally invasive lung resections

Sara Degiovanni, Sara Parini, Guido Baietto, Fabio Massera et autres

Background: Pulmonary function assessment is mandatory before oncological lung resection surgery. To do so, subjects undergo a pulmonary function test (PFT) and the calculation of predicted postoperative (PPO) values to estimate the residual lung function after surgery. The aim of this study …

Comparison of frailty indexes as predictors of clinical outcomes after major thoracic surgery

Sara Parini, Danila Azzolina, Fabio Massera, Christian Garlisi et autres

Background: Despite greater appreciation for the importance of frailty in surgical patients, due to improved understanding that frailty is often linked to poor outcomes, the optimal method of assessment remains unknown. In this study, we sought to evaluate the prevalence of frailty …

The Redax® Coaxial Drain in pulmonary lobectomy: a study of efficacy

Ottavio Rena, Sara Parini, Esther Papalia, Fabio Massera et autres

Background: Pleural drainage is required after pulmonary lobectomy to evacuate air-leak and fluid. We compared the performance of the new Redax ® Coaxial Drain (CD) (Redax, Mirandola, Italy) with a standard chest tube (CT) in terms of fluid and air-leak evacuation. Methods: …
