Effectiveness of autologous fibrin glue in preventing post-thoracotomy air leaks: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: The application of autologous fibrin glue during thoracotomy procedures significantly reduces postoperative air leaks and hospitalization duration without increasing complication rates. This finding suggests a beneficial role of fibrin glue in thoracic procedures requiring lung resection or decortication.PMID:38693984 | PMC:PMC11059015 | DOI:10.5114/kitp.2024.138579 (Source: Polish Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery)

Challenges and pitfalls in the perioperative management of mediastinal mass syndrome: an up-to-date review
We describe diagnostic evaluation, preoperative optimization, intraoperative considerations, and postoperative care strategies, emphasizing the paramount significance of a multidisciplinary approach and personalized treatment plans. Preoperative multidisciplinary discussions, meticulous anesthetic management, and well-established protocols for emergency situations are pivotal to ensuring patient safety. Healthcare providers involved in the care of patients with mediastinal mass syndrome must grasp these challenges and pitfalls, enabling them to deliver safe and effective perioperative management.PMID:38693982 | PMC:PMC1105...

Should varicocele screening be conducted in men diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency? A prospective study
CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant association between left GSV diameter and varicocele (p = 0.004). Varicocele screening can be carried out with 71.4% sensitivity in adult male patients with a left GSV diameter of 5.35 cm and above. Both cardiovascular surgeons and radiologists can conduct varicocele screening by measuring pampiniform veins in patients with a left GSV diameter of 5.35 cm and above. This approach has the potential to reduce the incidence of varicocele and associated infertility.PMID:38693978 | PMC:PMC11059024 | DOI:10.5114/kitp.2024.138486 (Source: Polish Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery)

Inflammatory response induction as a result of BioGlue adhesive application in cardiac surgery - a review of the literature
Kardiochir Torakochirurgia Pol. 2024 Mar;21(1):43-46. doi: 10.5114/kitp.2024.138566. Epub 2024 Mar 30.ABSTRACTBioGlue is one of the best-known substances used as a tissue adhesive during surgical procedures, especially in cardiac surgery. Inappropriate use of BioGlue can result in inflammation in both the heart and adjacent tissues after its intraoperative application. Inflammation caused by BioGlue in cardiac surgery is a topic that has been discussed by numerous authors in scientific studies, meta-analyses and evaluations of this tissue adhesive. However, there is a lack of collected knowledge on this subject in a single...
