Abstract

Resection is the mainstay of treatment for thymic epithelial tumors (TETs), with complete removal of the tumor and involved organs being the ultimate aim. The choice of surgical approach plays a major role in defining treatment success, and the optimal choice of method should thus provide an adequate surgical view to achieve complete tumor resection. While median sternotomy is considered the gold standard for access to the mediastinum, several minimally invasive approaches to thymectomy have been described, including video-assisted robotic-assisted thymectomy, although the oncological outcomes of that procedure remain unclear. A multimodal approach incorporating chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy followed by extended surgery may improve resectability and outcomes for patients with advanced TETs. Surgical debulking is also reportedly acceptable for invasive thymoma because of its potential for achieving favorable outcomes. Re-resection is an acceptable option for patients with recurrent thymoma after initial resection, and repeat resection for recurrent pleural dissemination seems effective. Here, the literature on current clinical practices in the surgical management and treatment of TETs is reviewed.

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.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
