Abstract

Thoracic surgeons perform a wide variety of cancer operations, which are often associated with high morbidity and mortality. Thus, thoracic surgery involves many special challenges that require innovative solutions. The increased utilization of minimally invasive practices, poor overall cancer survival, and significant morbidity of critical operations remain key obstacles to overcome. Fluorescence imaging technology (FIT), involving the implementation of fluorescent dyes and imaging systems, is currently used as an adjunct for general thoracic surgery in many situations and includes sentinel lymph node mapping, pulmonary intersegmental plane identification, pulmonary nodule identification, pulmonary bullous lesion detection, evaluation of the anastomotic perfusion after tracheal surgery, and thoracic duct imaging for postoperative chylothorax. This technology enhances the surgeon’s ability to perform operations, and has specific advantages. We review some of the key studies that demonstrate the applications of FIT in the field of general thoracic surgery, focusing on the use of indocyanine green.

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.
