Robotic Thymectomy Using the Single-Port Robotic System via the Subxiphoid Approach [PDF]
Technological advances have led to significant progress in minimally invasive surgery in the field of general thoracic surgery. Thymectomy, which has traditionally been performed via an open approach through a median sternotomy, is now entering a new ...

Role of subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in pulmonary metastasectomy
Optimal management for patients with pulmonary metastasis is still debated. True survival benefit from widely practiced pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) is yet to be proved from high-quality randomized controlled trials.

Subxiphoid approach for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: an update. [PDF]
The transthoracic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is considered as standard operation for various thoracic diseases. With the development of single-incision VATS, the thoracic surgery becomes less traumatic. However, chronic chest wound pain still an issue despite the less invasive approach.

Subxiphoid approach for spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax: a case report. [PDF]
The development of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has contributed to reduced pain and improved recovery following thoracic surgery. However, pain remains a major issue. Patients with bilateral pulmonary pathology requiring operative intervention may have even more pain due to bilateral transthoracic incisions.
