Right infra-axillary mini-thoracotomy for aortic valve replacement.
Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MICSAVR) has traditionally been performed through forechest approaches, including partial sternotomy, parasternal thoracotomy, or anterior inter-costal thoracotomy (1-3). Proximity to the ascending aorta and aortic valve seems to be advantageous in these approaches. Fore-chest skin incisions are not necessarily ideal, as minimally invasive surgery ma...
متن کاملVideo-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Versus Axillary Thoracotomy in Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Introduction: Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is now commonly used for primary spontaneous pneumothorax. In the present study we compared the outcomes of this technique with those obtained by conventional thoracotomy.Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional stud, forty patients were enrolled into two groups: VATS (n=20) and thoracotomy (n=20). In both groups the blebs were resected ...

متن کاملPain and physical function are similar following axillary, muscle-sparing vs posterolateral thoracotomy.
STUDY OBJECTIVES We set out to determine whether there is a difference in postoperative pain and recovery after the patient undergoes the axillary muscle-sparing incision (ie, muscle-sparing thoracotomy [MT]) vs the modified posterolateral incision (ie, posterolateral thoracotomy [PT]). DESIGN Analysis of a database originally collected to determine the effect of the timing of epidural analge...
متن کاملPleural abrasion via axillary thoracotomy in the era of video assisted thoracic surgery.
BACKGROUND Recurrent episodes of spontaneous pneumothorax can be managed medically or surgically by various methods, video assisted thoracoscopy being the latest and most attractive. METHODS A retrospective analysis was made of 43 pleural abrasions performed in 39 patients through a 4-6 cm axillary thoracotomy incision. RESULTS There were no deaths and complications were few. At a mean foll...
