Posterolateral thoracotomy Approach for an Ectopic Mediastinum Thymoma: A Case Report
Thymic epithelial neoplasms are commonly aetiology of the anterior mediastinum masses in adults. It represents 20–30% of all mediastinal tumours in adults. Ectopic thymomas usually affect the neck, mediastinal compartments, lung, and pleura, arising from aberrant thymic tissue. For giant thymoma, there is still no consensus on the surgical approach. We herein report a patient with a giant thym...
متن کاملModified 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 کاملA muscle-saving posterolateral thoracotomy incision.
A posterolateral thoracotomy incision which spares the latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior muscles and provides adequate exposure for major thoracic procedures and structures in the posterior hilum is described. Preservation of these accessory muscles of respiration results in improved respiratory dynamics, decreased postoperative pain, and early recovery.
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 کاملPosterolateral thoracotomy without muscle division: a new approach to complex procedures.
Today, there is a strong increase in video-assisted thoracic surgery; however, there are still some diseases and interventions that need a wide pleural cavity exposure (i.e. sulcus tumours and extended resections). These complex procedures are usually performed via a standard posterolateral thoracotomy, which is a good approach but has significant disadvantage due to pain and difficulty coughin...
