Minimally invasive surgical procedures for thymic disease in Asia. [PDF]
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) procedures for thymic tumors and myasthenia gravis were introduced in Asia in the middle 1990s in at least two regions, Hong Kong and Japan. To overcome difficulties in obtaining a wide view of the anterior mediastinum, several methods for lifting the sternum or anterior chest wall have been presented, mainly by ...

Measuring surgical safety during minimally invasive surgical procedures: a validation study. [PDF]
During the implementation of new interventions (i.e., surgical devices and technologies) in the operating room, surgical safety might be compromised. Current safety measures are insufficient in detecting safety hazards during this process. The aim of the study was to observe whether surgical teams are capable of measuring surgical safety, especially ...

Flexible delivery of Er:YAG radiation at 2.94 µm with negative curvature silica glass fibers:a new solution for minimally invasive surgical procedures [PDF]
We present the delivery of high energy microsecond pulses through a hollow-core negative-curvature fiber at 2.94 µm. The energy densities delivered far exceed those required for biological tissue manipulation and are of the order of 2300 J/cm(2).
