Robotic-Assisted Videothoracoscopic Mediastinal Surgery.
BACKGROUND Tumors of the mediastinum as well as normal thymus glands in patients with myasthenia gravis have traditionally been resected using large and morbid incisions. However, robotic-assisted mediastinal resections are gaining popularity because of the many advantages that the robot provides. However, few comprehensive reviews of the literature on robotic-assisted mediastinal resections ex...
متن کاملHibernoma: an uncommon cause of a pleural mass
Here, we report the case of a 37-year-old asymptomatic male patient who was referred because of abnormalities seen on a routine chest X-ray. The physical examination findings and laboratory test results were normal. A new chest X-ray revealed a large opacity in the left lower hemithorax. Chest CT revealed a heterogeneous pleural mass in the left lower hemithorax (Fig. 1). The mass appeared to b...
متن کاملVideothoracoscopic treatment of oesophageal leiomyoma.
BACKGROUND Oesophageal leiomyomas are usually so easily removed that thoracotomy seems out of proportion and thoracoscopic removal is therefore highly desirable. METHODS Out of a total of 1003 thoracoscopic operations undertaken between July 1991 and December 1996, seven patients underwent thoracoscopic removal of oesophageal leiomyoma. All of them had been preoperatively studied by oesophago...
متن کاملRobotic-Assisted Videothoracoscopic Surgery of the Lung.
BACKGROUND Despite initial concerns about the general safety of videothoracoscopic surgery, minimally invasive videothoracoscopic surgical procedures have advantages over traditional open thoracic surgery via thoracotomy. Robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery has expanded to almost every surgical specialty, including thoracic surgery. Adding a robotic-assisted surgical system to a videoth...
متن کامل[Impact of videothoracoscopic sympathectomy in thoracic surgery. Future considerations].
Surgery of the sympathetic nervous system has gained importance in recent times basically due to the good results of videothoracoscopic surgery for primary hyperhidrosis. It has gone from being an operation performed sporadically to one of the most requested in our area of expertise. With minimally invasive surgery, the morbidity has been reduced considerably and it has generated a call effect,...
