A 47-year-old female presents to the operating room for a partial corpectomy on one upper thoracic vertebral body, T3. Two surgeons are performing the surgery. One surgeon performs the transthoracic approach and excises the damaged portion of the vertebral body. The second surgeon inserts a bone graft into the vertebral gap, closing the gap, and inserts a metal plate. Both surgeons work together, each as a primary surgeon.

A 50-year-old patient presented with a persistent cough has not responded to standard treatments. The patient's physician decides to perform a flexible bronchoscopy with bronchial biopsies to further investigate the cause. A flexible bronchoscope is inserted through the patient's mouth and into the bronchial tubes. Five biopsies are taken for further testing. The biopsies were sent to the lab for analysis to determine the next steps in the patient's treatment plan.
