Resection of multiple lung metastases--where are the limits?
2005
: Multiple lung metastases present a serious and challenging problem with increasing incidence for thoracic surgeons. In the lung metastasis management a significant role belongs to laser lung-parenchyma-saving resection. This parenchyma saving technique allows a removal of significant higher number of lung nodules in comparison to conventional techniques (stapler, clamp resection). Performing the lung metastasectomy by this manner, the only remaining question is the limitation of this technique. In this retrospective study, the results after Nd:YAG Laser (1318 nm, 40 Watt) interventions are being presented, the limitations of this technique are being discussed (Tab. 3, Fig. 4, Ref. 9).
