Robotic Thymectomy
After the great success of minimally invasive approach in abdominal surgery, thoracoscopic surgery has gained a broad acceptance for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures due to the fact that permits good exposure of the pleural cavity, enables extensive dissection and combines the advantages of minimal invasive surgery with little tissue trauma, short recovery, less pain and improved cosmetic ...
متن کاملThoracoscopic Thymectomy Using a Subxiphoid Approach for Anterior Mediastinal Tumors.
PURPOSE Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) techniques have been widely used for resection of mediastinal tumors. This study investigated the usefulness of the subxiphoid approach in thoracoscopic thymectomy. METHODS In all, 36 patients with anterior mediastinal tumor underwent thymectomy using the subxiphoid approach in two Japanese institutions. These patients were retrospectively review...
متن کاملTrans-subxiphoid robotic thymectomy.
Minimally invasive surgery has replaced median sternotomy for resectable anterior mediastinal masses and is performed by various approaches. We developed a new minimally invasive surgical procedure by combining the subxiphoid approach performed through a midline camera port with the use of a robotic surgery system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). A 3-cm transverse incision was made 1 c...
متن کاملComplete stable remission after extended transsternal thymectomy in myasthenia gravis.
OBJECTIVE This study sought to determine the efficacy and prognostic factors of extended transsternal thymectomy as a treatment for myasthenia gravis (MG). METHODS Medical records of 147 patients who underwent extended transsternal thymectomy for MG from January 1991 to December 2002 were reviewed retrospectively. The complete stable remission (CSR) rate and prognostic factors for CSR were as...
متن کاملRobotic thymectomy for myasthenia gravis.
We present a case of a 32-year-old female affected by moderate generalized (MGFA Class IIIb) myasthenia gravis (MG) (Figure 1). She presented with ptosis and generalized weakness and fatigue for the past 10 months. Neurological cl inical evaluation was suggestive for MG, while electromyography and dosage of circulating acetylcholine receptor antibodies were both positive. There was no previous ...
