Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Bilateral vats was safely completed in the supine position. This provides simplicity, convenience, decreased operative time, and decreased positioning-related morbidity.

Spontaneous Pneumothorax
The 50-year Mayo Clinic experience (Park et al., 2005, Annals of Surgery) recommended selective resection of Meckel's diverticulum based on four features: age less than 50, male sex, length greater than 2 cm, or presence of histologically abnormal tissue.
guideline ·
Colorectal / ARM & Hirschsprung
For incidental Meckel's diverticulum during laparoscopy, Zani's 2008 Annals of Surgery review recommended leaving it, stating the risk of complications is not worth the extremely low mortality rate of 0.001%.
guideline ·
Colorectal / ARM & Hirschsprung
In a retrospective review of abscess I&D cases discharged same-day from the OR, treatment failure (readmission or repeat I&D within 2 weeks) occurred in only 0.9% of patients.
epidemiological ·
Intussusception
Among patients with leukocytosis (white count up to 35), only 2 out of 138 had treatment failure after same-day discharge, and only one febrile patient had treatment failure.

Tricks - Supine Positioning For Bilateral VATS
Quotation
Lateral decubous positioning has been adopted from the transition from open thoracotomy to vats. It provides ease of exposure and rapid conversion to open thoracotomy. With advancements in vats, this no longer applies.
Open
Statement
Lateral decubitus positioning has been adopted from the transition from open thoracotomy to VATS and provides ease of exposure and rapid conversion to open thoracotomy, but with advancements in VATS this no longer applies.
Open
Quotation
Lateral positioning may add unnecessary morbidity, including brachial plexus injury and decubitous ulcers.

Statement
Lateral positioning may add unnecessary morbidity including brachial plexus injury and decubitus ulcers.
Open
Statement
The patient is a 17-year-old male with history of asthma who presented with shortness of breath and chest tightness when running, found to have bilateral apical blebs and a large right spontaneous pneumothorax treated with chest tube, later developing a small left spontaneous pneumothorax that resolved with observation.
Open
Statement
Bilateral VATS with bilateral apical bleb resections and mechanical pleurodesis was performed in the supine position due to the routine nature of the procedure.
Open
Statement
Port placement for supine VATS included 25mm ports at the 7th intercostal space midclavicular line and 6th intercostal space mid-axillary line, plus a 12mm port at the 4th intercostal space mid-axillary line to accommodate the GIA stapler.
Open
Quotation
Bilateral vats was safely completed in the supine position. This provides simplicity, convenience, decreased operative time, and decreased positioning-related morbidity.
Open
Statement
Bilateral VATS was safely completed in the supine position, providing simplicity, convenience, decreased operative time, and decreased positioning-related morbidity.
Open
Quotation
So if there's a procedure that requires bilateral vats with low morbidity and a very well-defined pathology such that you won't, um, you know, encounter. Any surprises, I think this is the sort of case that you should consider supines.
Open
Statement
Patient selection for supine VATS is important; appropriate cases include bilateral VATS with low morbidity and well-defined pathology where you won't encounter surprises.
