Video-assisted extended thymectomy in patients with thymoma by lifting the sternum
Ann Thorac Surg.
2001 May.
Abstract
We present use of minimally invasive video thoracoscopic surgery to perform complete extended thymectomy in patients with thymoma. These procedures were performed using a sternum-elevating method that provides a wide field of vision between the sternum and heart. Indications for this method are Masaoka Stage I, II and some Stage III (invasion to the lung and pericardium). This new method may be useful from the standpoint of minimal access, rapid recovery, less pain, and good cosmetic results.
