Tubeless uniportal thoracoscopic wedge resection is feasible and safe and may be a less invasive alternative for treating selected patients with peripheral lung nodules.

Non-intubated thoracoscopic surgery using internal intercostal nerve block, vagal block and targeted sedation is technically feasible and safe in surgical treatment of lung, mediastinal and pleural tumours in selected patients.

AD may be an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke, and risk of ischemic stroke increases with AD severity.
