چکیده
Thymic carcinoid tumour associated with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma is very rare. We present a case of synchronous lung cancer and mediastinal tumour treated with simultaneous video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) sleeve lobectomy and thymectomy. A 67-year old man presented with cough and bloody sputum. Chest computed tomography showed an anterior mediastinal mass with a right hilar nodule. A right upper sleeve lobectomy and a thymectomy were performed via a VATS approach. Thymic carcinoid tumour associated with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed, and the patient received adjuvant radiochemotherapy.

متن کاملLeft lower sleeve lobectomy by uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic approach.
Endobronchial tumours requiring sleeve resection have been usually considered a contraindication for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). However, with new technical advances and the experience gained in VATS, sleeve lobectomy has been performed by thoracoscopy in experienced VATS centres. Right-sided sleeve anastomoses are easier to perform by VATS than left-sided ones because of the p...

INTRODUCTION Video-assisted thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy is safe and feasible for lung cancer. We describe a case of video-assisted thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy via a novel single intercostal space (SIC) three-port approach. CONCLUSIONS This case demonstrates that a SIC three-port thoracoscopic approach is effective in sleeve lobectomy, and possesses potential advantages in perioperative ...

Sleeve lobectomy can preserve healthy lung parenchyma in centrally located lung cancer surgery. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has been shown to have better results for postoperative complications than thoracotomy lobectomy. However, its limitations in visualization of operative field and handling of instruments restrain surgeons performing sleeve lobectomy. Robotic surge...
متن کامل[Video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy for the treatment of myasthenia gravis].
OBJECTIVE Traditionally, thymectomy for myasthenia gravis has been performed using either a transcervical approach or a median sternotomy. However, excision of the thymic tissue by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is less aggressive and recovery is faster. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ove...
