Randomized Controlled TrialSurvival Analysis of Patients with Thoracic Duct Ligation during Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy.
To determinate the effect of thoracic duct ligation during thoracoscopic esophagectomy on esophageal cancer patients survival. ⋯ Thoracic duct ligation during thoracoscopic esophagectomy can affect DFS in patients with pT1b-3N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and the thoracic duct ligation, depth of invasion, degree of differentiation and presence of tumor thrombus are independent factors. Meanwhile, the depth of invasion, presence of tumor thrombus and age were independent factors affecting OS. Key Words: Esophageal cancer, VATS, Esophagectomy, Thoracic duct ligation, DFS, OS.

Randomized Controlled TrialCerebral Oximetry after Low Pressure versus Standard Pressure Pneumoperitoneum in Laparoscopic Nephrectomy.
To evaluate whether pneumoperitoneum pressure lower than the standard pressure would allow higher cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) during laparoscopic nephrectomy (LN). ⋯ Low insufflation pressure offered no advantages over standard pressure in terms of haemodynamics, arterial blood gases, cerebral oxygen saturation during LN, and CO2 insufflation did not change rSO2 levels. Key Words: Pneumoperitoneum, Spectroscopy, Oximetry, Nephrectomy, Surgery, Laparoscopic nephrectomy.
