Thoracoscopic repair of cervical lung hernia

Intermittent Cranial Lung Herniation in Two Dogs

“…Incarceration and strangulation of the hernia, thoracic pain, hemoptysis, recurrent infection, and nerve compression are possible complications of a lung hernia, but these are rarely observed 6,10,14 . Therefore, conservative management is usually recommended and curative surgical repair become necessary only in complicated hernias 10,15–17 …”

“…6,10,14 Therefore, conservative management is usually recommended and curative surgical repair become necessary only in complicated hernias. 10,[15][16][17] Cervical lung lobe herniation should be included in the differential diagnoses for dogs with intermittent swelling of the ventral aspect of the neck. As the condition is usually secondary to chronic obstructive airways disease, conservative therapy of the primary respiratory disorder is generally recommended.…”

Beyond the boundaries: Surgical repair of apical parietal pleural hernia

“…The first thoracoscopic approach to the repair of a cervical lung hernia was reported by Jheon and colleagues. 10 They described their less-invasive technique in a 41-yearold obese man reporting excellent surgical view, cosmetic merit, and a proper approach to close the defect away from the pleural cavity.…”

A Modified Supraclavicular Approach for Central Venous Catheterization by Manipulation of Ventilation in Ventilated Patients

“…Anatomically, the SCV is surrounded by several rigid anatomical structures. Inferiorly, it rests on the first rib laterally and is separated from the cupola of the lung by Sibson’s fascia medially (11). The ascending lung apex might be punctured in inspiratory phase.…”
