Robot-assisted transthoracic first rib resection for venous thoracic outlet syndrome.

Vascular
BACKGROUND: Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS) is caused by external compression of the subclavian vein at the costoclavicular junction. It can be subdivided in McCleery Syndrome and Paget-Schroetter Syndrome (PSS). To improve the venous outflow ...

Separation of bones from soft tissue in chest radiographs: Anatomy-specific orientation-frequency-specific deep neural network convolution.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Lung nodules that are missed by radiologists as well as by computer-aided detection (CAD) systems mostly overlap with ribs and clavicles. Removing the bony structures would result in better visualization of undetectable lesions. Our purpose ...

Comparison of the Bone Harvesting Capacity of an Intraoral Bone Harvesting Device and Three Different Implant Drills.

BioMed research international
The aim of the present study was to compare bone-collecting capacity of bone harvesting device and minimally irrigated low-speed drilling using three implant systems. One bone harvesting device and three commercially available drill systems were comp...

Infraclavicular first rib resection for the treatment of acute venous thoracic outlet syndrome.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (VTOS) is most commonly treated by transaxillary, supraclavicular, or paraclavicular approaches, based on surgeon preference. However, we have adopted an infraclavicular approach to VTOS as the surgical path...

Robotic First Rib Resection and Robotic Chest Wall Resection.

Thoracic surgery clinics
Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome and chest wall lesions are burgeoning topics on thoracic surgery. Following publication of the Society of Vascular Surgeons expert statement in 2016, the diagnosis and...
