Thoracoscopic 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...

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 کاملSubxiphoid video-assisted thorascopic thymectomy for thymoma.
A 42-year-old male presented with an 8-month history of a thymic tumor associated with myasthenia gravis (MG) (Figure 1). The clinical stage was IIa according to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA), an electromyography (EMG) study was abnormal, and serum acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody testing was positive. The patient’s clinical state was stable on pyridostigmine bromide,...
متن کاملSingle-port thymectomy using a subxiphoid approach-surgical technique.
Single-port thymectomy (SPT) with a subxiphoid approach is indicated for anterior mediastinal tumors and myasthenia gravis when preoperative diagnostic imaging reveals no tumor infiltration into the surrounding tissues, such as the brachiocephalic vein and pericardium. The present case is a 42-year-old female patient who had an incidental finding of an anterior mediastinal cystic mass during fo...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy.
Access from the right chest is generally easier. In this case however, the thymoma was predominantly left-sided and therefore a left-sided approach was preferred. The anesthetist places a double lumen tube to allow isolation of the required lung. The patient is placed with the chest elevated to an angle of around 30 degrees. This allows the plane between the sternum and thymus to be developed e...
