A minimally invasive incision for lung transplantation: antero-axillary approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Increasing attention is being paid by cardiothoracic surgeons to performing cardiothoracic surgical procedures through less invasive approaches, including the use of limited skin incisions. A limited incisional approach is described that achieves full access to the entire chest cavity and the hilum, allows the use of standard operative instruments and techniques, permits rapid, easy initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, and is easy to learn.

Prime Incision and Modified Moving Window: A Minimally Invasive Access for Breast Cancer Surgical Treatment
BACKGROUND Conservative surgical treatment has been the treatment of choice for early breast cancer. It allows feasible oncological treatment with a satisfactory cosmetic approach and fast recovery. However, in some cases mastectomy is necessary. This study proposes a surgical approach with only one surgical access through the same incision, which is in line with precepts mentioned abov...

Introduction: Lung cancer is the disease of modern era, and the rate of lung cancer mortality is three times as high as that for prostate cancer and twice as high as the rate for breast cancer. We aimed to analyze the results of pulmonary resection in patients with NSCLC by minimally invasive thoracoscopy. Materials and Methods: We studied 10 patients with NSCLC scheduled for surgical resectio...

Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MICSAVR) has traditionally been performed through forechest approaches, including partial sternotomy, parasternal thoracotomy, or anterior inter-costal thoracotomy (1-3). Proximity to the ascending aorta and aortic valve seems to be advantageous in these approaches. Fore-chest skin incisions are not necessarily ideal, as minimally invasive surgery ma...
