Modified muscle sparing posterolateral thoracotomy.
A modified posterolateral thoracotomy is described that combines the advantages of complete muscle sparing through a thoracolumbar fascial slide with excellent exposure. The technique is easy to perform. The procedure was associated with relatively little postoperative pain, coughing was effective, and early ambulation was achieved. Experience with this approach in the first 49 patients suggest...
متن کاملIntercostal thoracotomy in 20 dogs: muscle-sparing versus traditional techniques
The levels of pain, duration of approaching and closure, and surgical exposure associated with intercostal thoracotomy were compared between muscle-sparing and traditional techniques in 20 dogs. Postoperative pain was assessed based on numerical pain scores using behavioral observation, heart rate, respiratory rate, and wound palpation. Time for approaching and closure were measured, and the ex...
متن کاملeComment. Muscle sparing thoracotomy for the apical posterior mediastinal lesions.
We thank Yang et al. for their study about the resection of the posterior mediastinal lesions [1]. We want to add a comment on the approach for the posterior mediastinal tumours. We agree that thoracoscopic resection of posterior mediastinal tumours can be performed successfully with decreased operation time, hospital stay and patient discomfort. But we think that those that are located to the ...
متن کاملMuscle-sparing versus posterolateral thoracotomy: a prospective study.
OBJECTIVE Although the thoracotomy incision is guided in part by the exposure required, both cosmesis and the potential for improved recovery are important factors to be taken into account. We conducted a prospective randomized study in order to compare muscle sparing thoracotomy (MST) and standard posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT) for postoperative pain and physical function during and after ho...
متن کاملThe importance of muscle-sparing thoracotomy for the treatment of postresectional complications after thoracotomy.
We read with great interest the article of Athanassiadi et al. [1] ‘Muscle-sparing versus posterolateral thoracotomy: a prospective study’ which elegantly compares the two approaches for thoracic surgery. Based on the results of their prospective study Athanassiadi et al. concluded that the rates of occurrence of acute and chronic pain and morbidity are equivalent after lateral muscle-sparing t...
