This document discusses various thoracic surgeries including those of the bony cage, esophagus, thymus, lungs, pleura, pericardium, heart, and aorta. It covers topics like chest wall deformities and hernias, thoracic outlet syndrome, chest wall tumors, reconstruction after chest wall defects, congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair, surgeries for esophageal disorders like achalasia and GERD, esophagectomy, and thymectomy. The various procedures are described along with their indications, techniques, and potential complications.
2. SURGERIES OF THORAX
• SURGERIES OF BONY CAGE
• SURGERIES OF ESOPHAGUS
• SURGERY OF THYMUS
• SURGERIES OF LUNG
• SURGERIES OF PLEURA & PERICARDIUM
• SURGERIES OF HEART:
• CORONARY SURGERY
• VALVULAR SURGERY
• CONGENITAL HEART SURGERY
• SURGERY OF AORTA
22. 4)Chest Wall Tumors
• primary tumors: Primary bone
neoplasms : BENIGN OR
MALIGNANT
• to local extension of adjacent tumors
(lung, mediastinum, pleura, or
breast),
• metastatic tumors
23. 5) Chest Wall Reconstruction
• The main goals in chest wall reconstruction are
• (1) obliteration of dead space,
• (2) restoration of skeletal rigidity,
• (3) prevention of lung herniation and scapula
impaction,
• (4) protection of underlying organs, and
• (5) maintenance of cosmesis
28. 7) Surgery for Esophageal Dysmotility
Disorders
• ACHALASIA:
• HELLER MYOTOMY
29. HELLER MYOTOMY: Complications
• Barrett's esophagus
• Esophageal cancer
• Infection in your esophagus (esophagitis)
• GERD
• Unintentional puncture (perforation) or tearing in the lining of
esophagus
31. Fundoplication: indications
•Failure of medical management
•Need for long-term medical therapy
•Complications of GERD (eg, Barrett
esophagus or peptic stricture)
•Patient preference
•Extraesophageal manifestations (eg, asthma,
hoarseness, cough, chest pain, aspiration)
•Juvenile esophagitis of long duration without
spontaneous remission or refractory to
medical management, esophagitis, failure to
thrive, or pulmonary compromise
•Mixed and paraesophageal hernia
•Recurrent reflux or complications after
previous antireflux surgical therapy
32. Fundoplication: complications
• Bleeding at the surgical site
• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) because stomach is wrapped too
high on esophagus or wrapped too tightly
• Difficulty belching
• Infection (peritonitis)
• Unintentional slipping of the wrapped portion of stomach
• Unintentional puncture (perforation) or tearing of esophagus
• Pneumothorax
33. 9) Esophagectomy
Indications
• Carcinoma of esophagus,
• high-grade dysplasia in Barrett
esophagus,
• destruction of esophagus by
caustic ingestion,
• complications of reflux
esophagitis failed with other
reflux procedures
