Enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery (ERATS): A current review
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a comprehensive care protocol that incorporates evidence-based practices to achieve the most optimal postoperative outcomes, safe on-time discharge, and surgical cost efficiency. ERAS protocols have been adapted for specialty-specific needs and implemented by a variety of surgical disciplines including thoracic surgery.

The role of hybrid arch repair with thoracic endovascular repair for contemporary management of complex arch and descending
Historically, the management of complex aortopathies was limited to open surgical repair, which carries a heightened risk of mortality and morbidity in elderly and comorbid patients [1]. In recent years, advancements in the management of complex aortic arch and descending thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies have increased treatment options for frail and elderly patients unamenable to conventional open repair. Among these, hybrid arch repair (HAR) with simultaneous or staged thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) has emerged as a viable option for this population.

A 2-month-old girl came to our Radiology Department to perform an abdominal ultrasound. At 38 weeks she was born and she was hospitalized for 3 weeks due to intrauterine growth retardation and hypotonia and the results of the medical study were normal, included cerebral and abdominal ultrasound exception karyotype (47 XX with chromosome marker of unknown origin).
Surgical outcomes of the thoracic ossification of ligamentum flavum: A high incidence of combined spinal stenosis
The term “tandem spinal stenosis (TSS)” has been used to describe combined cervical and lumbar canal stenosis. We identified in our large series of cases that approximately 58% of cases with cervical canal stenosis were considered to be TSS, and 15% needed surgery for concurrent lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LCS) [1]. The simultaneous presence of thoracic canal stenosis and LCS is also frequently observed at a clinical site.
