Perspective and practice patterns of mediastinal staging among thoracic surgeons. Oct 2022. Ory Wiesel, Daniel Kaufman, Caralee Caplan-Shaw, Jason Philip Shaw. Background: Accurate mediastinal staging of lung cancer patients is critical for determining appropriate treatment. Mediastinoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration are the most commonly utilized techniques. Limited data exist on training and practice trends among thoracic surgeons. We aimed to determine…
A Narrative Review of update in per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and endoscopic esophageal surgery. May 2021. Antony Delliturri, Ory Wiesel, Jason Philip Shaw, Igor Brichkov. The field of endoscopic esophageal surgery is based on the concept of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). Submucosal space surgery or third space surgery with the use of flexible endoscopy allows for decreased morbidity and hospital length of stay with equivalent outcomes for patients. In the case of achalasia, per oral endosco…
Clinical Characteristics and Outcome of Pneumomediastinum in Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia. Sep 2020, Aaron Kangas-Dick, Victor Gazivoda, Mudathir Ibrahim[…] Ory Wiesel. Introduction: Pneumomediastinum (PM) is characterized by the presence of air within the mediastinum. The association between PM and coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has not been well established in the current literature. We sought to summarize the limited body of literature regarding PM in patients with COVID-19 and characterize the presentation and cl…
