Myocardial revascularization through a mini-thoracotomy with thoracoscopic assistance.
OBJECTIVE Left internal mammary artery harvesting through a mini-thoracotomy makes gaining the proximal portion of this vessel very difficult and exposes the patient to the risk of chest wall trauma due to excessive spreading of the ribs. The adoption of video thoracoscopic assistance can give several advantages to the procedure. METHODS With the patient in a 30 degrees left-side-up thoracoto...
متن کاملMini Open Foraminotomy (MOF) for Cervical Radiculopathy: Technical Note
Background: Favorable surgical results had been reported in cervical posterior foraminotomy using endoscopy; however, the learning curve for the surgeon is steep. We therefore developed a procedure that can be performed more easily and with small incision, called “Mini Open Foraminotomy (MOF)”, using a tubular retractor (22mm diameter) under direct vision. The purpose of this study was to demon...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic versus open thoracotomy lobectomy in a cohort of 13,619 patients.
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is becoming increasingly popular for lung resection in some centers. However, the issue of whether VATS or open thoracotomy is better remains controversial. We compared outcomes of open and VATS lobectomy in a national database. METHODS Using the 2004 and 2006 Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, we identified 13,619 discharge records of...
متن کاملTherapeutic evaluation of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery versus open thoracotomy for pediatric pulmonary hydatid disease
BACKGROUND Hydatid disease is a severe and widespread human cestode infection, and in children, the lung is the most commonly infected organ. In current practice, the standard surgical procedure for the removal of pulmonary hydatid cysts is thoracotomy; therefore, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to treat pediatric pulmonary hydatid disease. To...
متن کاملVideo assisted thoracoscopic surgery for spinal conditions.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become an alternative treatment tool for a variety of spinal conditions in the last two decades. This endoscopic or "keyhole" approach minimizes the chest wall morbidity related to the traditional thoracotomy. The current indications for VATS are the same as in any open anterior spinal surgery. This article reviews the outcomes of VATS treatments ...
