Single-port thymectomy using a subxiphoid approach-surgical technique.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 follow-up of asthma. The mass was 1 cm in diameter and did not infiltrate into nearby organs (Video 1).

Trans-subxiphoid robotic thymectomy.
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 کاملA pitfall of thoracoscopic thymectomy: a case with intraoperative and postoperative complications
We have reported the usefulness of the subxiphoid approach in thymectomy. However, such a new operation method may have unknown complications that rarely occur. Surgeons cannot completely avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications. We report a case of intraoperative injury of the orifice of the left internal thoracic vein flowing to the left brachiocephalic vein and postoperative peri...

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...
