Hi 18Ds,
I am a senior in college and am getting ready to give my first of several presentations on my (in progress) dissection of the thorax. I have just reflected the anterior thoracic wall and my next step will be to remove the lungs for further dissection.
Part of our presentation is to discuss a clinical correlate of our choosing, which can be anything interesting which is clinically related to what I have dissected. Some examples: diseases afflicting certain structures, procedures performed on certain structures, or the effects of damaging certain structures and the remedy.
I would like to present and learn about something an 18D may have to deal with or fix. So if you would please give me some 18D procedures or things you have done/encountered in the thorax I could discuss. Maybe something the anatomy professors have not heard about, so I can wow em a bit.
Pneumothorax is a common one, so if you say that give me some interesting 18D ways of fixing it.
So you know what structures I have dissected/observed:
lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerve, pectoral muscle group, the thoracoacromial artery and branches, cephalic vein as it passes through shoulder, medial and lateral pectoral nerves and vessels, subclavius muscle, serratus anterior muscle, intercostal muscles, intercostal artery, vein, and nerve, internal thoracic vessels, superior epigastric a., musculophrenic a. and transversus thoracis. All pleura associated with lungs, the diaphragm,
Observed only: lungs, heart, mediastinum
Much Appreciated and I look forward to some interesting responses!
