Thoracotomy as the Surgical Route for Synchronous Thoracic and Non-thoracic Procedures

2020
Thoracic incisions may also offer exposure and to other anatomic cavities or spaces apart the thoracic cavity. This is not the case with other incisions, like an abdominal midline incision which offers limited access only to the abdominal cavity, and in order to include other cavities or spaces a second incision is needed.

[Thoracic surgery: the major surgical procedures].

Journal de radiologie, 2009
The most frequent thoracic surgeries are performed for the treatment of primary lung cancer and pleural mesothelioma. For lung cancer, the standard procedures are pneumonectomy and lobectomy with associated mediastinal lymphadenectomy. In order to avoid pneumonectomy, extended lobectomy with sleeve bronchoplasty and/or angioplasty can be done.
