Subxiphoid uniportal lobectomy [PDF]
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) surgery has seen an evolution from multiple ports to uniportal and finally subxiphoid uniportal recently. In traditional VATS surgery, the instruments and the thoracoscope enter the thoracic cavity through two to four operating ports on the lateral chest wall, which can cause chronic pain and chest wall numbness ...

Subxiphoid mediastinal lymphadenectomy [PDF]
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has experience an exponential growth in lung anatomic resections. Since its beginnings in early 90s with the conventional multiport VATS to the more recent uniportal approach, a continuous search for a less invasive procedure has fueled the development of minimally invasive thoracic surgery.

Subxiphoid video-thoracoscopy [PDF]
Surgical procedures of pleural cavity are crucial to complete the diagnoses or planning treatment of pleural effusions with an unknown aetiology. Traditionally, the transthoracic approach has been the most used procedure to study the pleural cavity. The subxiphoid video-thoracoscopy is becoming an alternative to the transthoracic approach.

Robotic subxiphoid-optical thymectomy
Abstract Robot-assisted thymectomy through a subxiphoid scopic approach can provide a good surgical view, similar to that of median sternotomy. We originally used the subxiphoid port only for the robotic scope to avoid instrument collision with the assistant device.

Intrathymic growing bronchogenic cyst mimicking thymoma: A case report
Intrathymic bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare lesions, and the differential diagnosis with a banal thymic cyst or a solid tumor can be problematic. Thymic carcinomas arising within thymic cysts have also been reported.
