Thoracic Surgery Unit, University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli", Naples, Italy.
Patients with advanced lung cancer are candidates for systemic therapies. In the context of improved tumor responses and prolonged survival periods, the treatment of tumor/therapy-related complications must be taken into account. Rescue surgery consists of a surgical resection without oncologic purpose but with the aim of controlling an acute and life-threatening complication.

Introduction: Intrathoracic anastomotic leakage can lead to severe complications, such as mediastinitis and empyema, with a high mortality rate. However, the optimal treatment strategy for anastomotic leakage remains controversial.
Presentation Of Case: This case involves a 55-year-old male patient with esophagogastric junction cancer who experienced intrathoracic anastomotic leakage following esophagojejunostomy, exacerbated by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related immunodeficiency.

Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) typically affects the elderly and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, data on its presentation and outcomes in individuals living with HIV are limited. The purpose of the study was to describe the clinical profile and management outcomes of CSDH in HIV-infected patients.

August 2025
Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, Fla.
Background: Postoperative air leak is the most common complication following lung resection, occurring in 30% to 58% patients. It requires postponing chest tube removal and contributes to postoperative pain, pneumonia, empyemas, and increased hospital length of stay and cost. We placed a double layer of absorbable polyglycolic acid mesh over the parenchymal staple lines at the end of every major lung resection and retrospectively reviewed the results compared to a cohort of similar lung resections without the use of mesh.

Division of Pediatric Surgery, Phoenix Children's-Phoenix, Arizona; Creighton University School of Medicine-Phoenix Regional Campus, Phoenix, Arizona; University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, Arizona.
Purpose: vAdult trauma literature indicates hemothorax volume >300 mL requires thoracic drainage. Due to a paucity of pediatric literature, we aim to analyze pediatric traumatic hemothorax management and calculate a volume threshold requiring chest tube placement.
Methods: Pediatric traumatic hemothorax cases from two level 1 trauma centers were analyzed.
