V. S.; IUAMOTO, L. R.; MINAMOTO, H.; ABDALLA, L. G.; FERNANDES, L. M.; CAMARGO, P. C. L.; SAMANO, M. N.; PEGO-FERNANDES, P. M.Background. Airway complications after lung transplantation are the major cause of morbidity, affecting up to 33% of all cases. Bronchial stenosis is the most common complication. The use of stents has been established as the most effective therapy; however, their removal is recommended after 3-6 months of use. We have been using self-expandable stents as a definitive treatment and remove them only if necessary. For this report, we evaluated the use of self-expandable stents as a definitive treatment for bronchial stenosis after lung transplantation. Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort study to evaluate patients with bronchial stenosis from August 2003 to April 2014. Clinical and pulmonary function test data were collected. Results. Two hundred lung transplants were performed, 156 of which were bilateral. Sixteen patients experienced airway complications: 4 had dehiscence, 2 necrosis, and 10 bronchial stenosis. Of these patients, 7 had undergone bilateral procedures, and 2 patients developed stenosis in both sides. Twelve anastomotic stenoses were observed. The follow-up after stenting ranged from 1 to 7 years. All patients had increased lung function, and 4 remained stable with sustained increase in pulmonary function without episodes of infection. Three patients required removal of their prosthesis 6 months to 1 year after implantation because of complications. Two patients died owing to unrelated causes. Conclusions. Definitive treatment of bronchial stenosis with self-expandable stents is a viable option. The 1st year seems to be the most crucial for determining definitive treatment, because no patients required removal of their stent after 1 year.

- Morphometric Analysis of Thoracic Ganglion Neurons in Subjects with and without Primary Palmar Hyperhidrosis(2014) OLIVEIRA, Flavio Roberto Garbelini de; MOURA JR., Nabor B.; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas M. de; WOLOSKER, Nelson; PARRA, Edwin R.; CAPELOZZI, Vera L.; PEGO-FERNANDES, PauloBackground: Hyperhidrosis (HH) is a disease whose physiopathology remains poorly understood and that adversely affects quality of life. There is no morphologic study that includes an adequate control group that allows for comparison of the ganglion of HH to those of normal individuals. The purpose of study was to analyze morphologic and morphometric characteristics of the ganglion from patients with HH and normal individuals (organ donators). Methods: This was a transversal study. The sympathetic thoracic ganglia were obtained from 2 groups of patients. Group PH (palmar hyperhidrosis), 40 patients with palmar HH submitted to surgery by video-assisted thoracoscopy, and group C (control group), 14 deceased individuals (control group of organ donators) without any history of HH. The third left sympathetic thoracic ganglion was resected in all patients. Results: We observed higher number of cells in the PH group than in the control group (14.25 + 3.81 vs. 10.65 + 4.93) with P = 0.007; the mean percentage of ganglion cells stained by caspases-3 in the PH group was significantly greater than that of the C group (2.37 + 0.79 vs. 0.77 + 0.28) with P < 0.001; the mean value of area of collagen in the PH group was 0.80 IQ (0.08-1.87), and in the control group it was 2.36 IQ (0.49-5.98) with P = 0.061. Conclusions: Subjects with primary palmar HH have a higher number of ganglion cells within the ganglion and a higher number of cells in apoptosis. Also, the subjects of PH group have less collagen in the sympathetic ganglion when compared with the control group, but not statistically significant.
- Hemangioma of the Rib(2011) ABRAO, Fernando Conrado; TAMAGNO, Mauro; CANZIAN, Mauro; FERNANDEZ, Angelo; BIBAS, Jacques; FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel Pego; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliAn asymptomatic 48-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a tumor of the rib incidentally diagnosed on a chest roentgenogram. The patient was investigated and underwent tumor resection of the chest wall. The pathologic study revealed that it was cavernous hemangioma. This tumor of the bone is a distinctly uncommon benign vascular tumor, generally occurring in the spine or skull. Hemangiomas involving the rib are even more rare, with only 22 cases described in the literature. However, we suggest that this tumor of the rib should be considered in the differential diagnosis, principally in asymptomatic patients.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study including patients with benign tracheal stenosis who underwent esophageal manometry and dual-probe 24-hour ambulatory esophageal pH study. Patients with an abnormal pH study were managed with laparoscopic modified Nissen fundoplication or medically (omeprazole 80 mg/d, orally). Patients with normal pH study results were observed. After a 24-month follow-up, the outcome was considered satisfactory if tracheal stenosis could be managed by resection and there was no need for further dilatation or definitive decannulation. The management groups were compared using propensity score matching. Results: A total of 175 patients were included. Abnormal pH study results were found in 74 patients (42.3%), and 12.6% of patients had typical gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. Follow-up was completed in 124 patients (20 had fundoplication, 32 received omeprazole, and 72 were observed). After propensity score matching, the outcome of tracheal stenosis in the fundoplication group was similar to that of the observation group (odds ratio, 1; P = .99) and better than that of the omeprazole group (odds ratio, 5.31; P = .03). The observation (no gastroesophageal reflux) group had a better outcome of stenosis than those treated with omeprazole (odds ratio, 3.54; P = .02). Conclusions: The outcome of the airway stenosis was superior after laparoscopic fundoplication compared with medical treatment with omeprazole and was similar to the outcome of patients without gastroesophageal reflux. A prospective randomized trial is warranted.
- Segmentectomia pulmonar anatômica robótica: aspectos técnicos e desfechos(2019) TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini; LAURICELLA, Leticia Leone; HADDAD, Rui; DE-CAMPOS, José Ribas Milanes; NABUCO-DE-ARAUJO, Pedro Henrique Xavier; LIMA, Carlos Eduardo Teixeira; SANTOS, Felipe Carvalho Braga dos; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo ManuelABSTRACT Objective: to report our initial experience with pulmonary robotic segmentectomy, describing the surgical technique, the preferred positioning of portals, initial results and outcomes. Methods: we collected data, from a prospective robotic surgery database, on patients undergoing robotic segmentectomy between January 2017 and December 2018. All patients had lung cancer, primary or secondary, or benign diseases, and were operated on with the Da Vinci system, by the three portals technique plus one utilitarian incision of 3cm. We dissected the hilar structures individually and performed the ligatures of the arterial and venous branches, of the segmental bronchi, as well as a parenchymal transection, with endoscopic staplers. We carried out systematic dissection of mediastinal lymph nodes for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. Results: forty-nine patients, of whom 33 were women, underwent robotic segmentectomy. The average age was of 68 years. Most patients had NSCLC (n=34), followed by metastatic disease (n=11) and benign disease (n=4). There was no conversion to laparoscopic or open surgery, or to lobectomy. The median total operative time was 160 minutes, and the median console time, 117 minutes. Postoperative complications occurred in nine patients (18.3%), of whom seven (14.2%) had prolonged hospitalization (>7 days) due to persistent air fistula (n=4; 8.1%) or abdominal complications (n=2.4%). Conclusion: robotic segmentectomy is a safe and viable procedure, offering a short period of hospitalization and low morbidity.
