Systematic Video-Assisted Mediastinoscopic Lymphadenectomy (VAMLA)
Accurate mediastinal lymph node dissection during thoracotomy is mandatory for staging and for adjuvant therapy in lung cancer. Pre-therapeutic staging for neoadjuvant therapy or for video assisted thoracoscopic resection of lung cancer is achieved usually by CT-scan and mediastinoscopy. However, these methods do not reach the accuracy of open nodal dissection. Therefore we developed a techniqu...
متن کاملExtended cervical mediastinoscopy revisited.
OBJECTIVES To describe the diagnostic value of selective extended cervical mediastinoscopy (ECM) in combination with video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy (VAMLA) in mediastinal staging of potentially resectable left-sided lung carcinoma. METHODS Institutional report on 110 ECM procedures indicated for enlarged lymph nodes within the aorto-pulmonary (AP) zone on computed tomography....
متن کاملClinical feasibility and surgical benefits of video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy in the treatment of resectable lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to assess the clinical feasibility and surgical outcomes of video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy in the treatment of resectable lung cancer. METHODS Between July 2004 and December 2009, we retrospectively analyzed 108 consecutive video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomies in lung cancer patients from a prospectively collected database. Nine...
متن کاملVideo-assisted mediastinoscopic resection of a large symptomatic bronchogenic cyst.
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions from the primitive foregut, mostly located in the mediastinum. Surgical excision in symptomatic cases is often challenging. Video-assisted mediastinoscopy offers a safe and effective approach with less morbidity and shorter hospital stay compared to open sternotomy or posterolateral thoracotomy. We describe a case of a young female with a large symptoma...
متن کاملCurrent evidence on transcervical mediastinal lymph nodes dissection.
In the last decade, we witnessed the development of two new, fascinating techniques of mediastinal exploration: the video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy (VAMLA) and the transcervical extended mediastinal lymphadenectomy (TEMLA). During this time, several articles were published, providing a substantial body of evidence regarding different aspects of these techniques. Based on this ev...
