Objective To compare the clinical effect of VATS and thoracotomy pulmonary wedge resection in treatment of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor. Methods 46 patients with pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor were randomly divided into the observation group(24 cases) and the control group(22 cases) ,the control group were treated by thoracotomy pulmonary wedge resection and the observation group were treated by VATS wedge resection,the intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay, prognosis and complications were compared. Results All patients of two groups were cured and discharged. The intraoperative blood loss of observation group[(46. 0±12. 3 ) ml] was significantly less than the control group [(95.2 ± 18. 6) ml] ( t = 3. 19, P ＜ 0. 05 ), and the hospital stay was significantly shorter than the control group( t = 3.01,P ＜ 0. 05 ), the difference of the incidence of complications of two groups was not statistically significant( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion VATS wedge resection of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor had features of less bleeding and quicker healing characteristics,could be worthy of clinical application.

Objective To determine the clinical value of an incision made at the areola mammae and pressure closure of residual cavity technology applied to remove benign breast lumps .Methods 2 264 patients from January 2006 to May 2012 were performed using an incision made at the areola mammae for removing benign breast lumps and a pressure bandage to close the residual cavity in our department .The therapeutic results were evaluated through follow-up .Results All the benign breast lumps were resected safely and completely .The diameter of the single lump was 0 .5-8 .0 cm and the number of lesions was 1-42 .The mean operative time was 37 min(5-162 min) .There was minimum scar formation on breast ,the outline of the breast was maintained ,the rate of generating gelosis was 25 .4% ,the mean time of developing gelosis was 29 days(18 -40 days) ,and the rate of satisfaction was 98 .4% .No sever complications were found .Conclusion The technique in which an incision made at the areola mammae and pres-sure closure of residual cavity technology was applied to remove benign breast lumps is single ,safe and feasible surgical procedure with cosmetic results in clinical application .
