Abstract

Surgery is the cornerstone of the treatment of thymic epithelial tumors, and favorable results are observed after complete surgical treatment of early-stage tumors. In locally advanced tumors, induction and adjuvant treatments are associated with surgery to improve complete resection rate and long-term survival. Several issues concerning the surgical treatment of thymic tumors are nevertheless still a matter of discussion and have been therefore to be analyzed. Minimally invasive surgical approaches were increasingly used in the last years, but their role in the treatment of locally advanced tumors is still to be defined. Moreover, although extended thymectomy is considered the standard surgical approach, limited resections such as thymomectomy are also currently used in the treatment of early-stage thymomas. The role of systematic nodal dissection in the surgical treatment of thymomas has also to be defined. Other significant issues concern the role of induction and adjuvant treatments in locally advanced thymic tumors and the role of surgery in the treatment of tumor recurrences. The mainstays and future perspectives in the field were reviewed from MEDLINE and Scopus databases based on appropriate keywords.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare

CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
