Transmanubrial approach combined with video-assisted approach for superior sulcus tumors

Kei Shikuma et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2012 Jul.

Abstract

Surgical resection after chemoradiotherapy with strict patient selection is an established treatment for superior sulcus tumors. Several surgical approaches have been described, but surgery for superior sulcus tumors is still a challenge. Among the approaches, the anterior transmanubrial approach has been reported to provide good access to apical chest tumors. A technique for video-assisted thoracic surgery combined with the anterior transmanubrial approach for superior sulcus tumor is reported.
