Learning thoracoscopic lobectomy☆☆☆
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2010Thoracoscopic (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)) lobectomy is a safe and effective method for treating early-stage lung cancer. Despite this, it is still not widely practised, which could be due to a shallow learning curve. We have evaluated the surgical outcome in a training programme at an institution with an established VATS lobectomy ...

Thoracoscopic Aortopexy for Tracheomalacia
World Journal of Surgery, 2014AbstractBackgroundTracheomalacia is a condition that may result in acute life‐threatening events. Aortopexy has become a generally accepted mode of treatment, although the impact of a thoracotomy is considerable. With the advent of minimal invasive surgery the impact of such a procedure may be greatly reduced.

[Thoracoscope for thoracoscopic surgery].
Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2015Thoracoscope is very important in thoracoscopic surgery (TS). There are many types of telescope and monitor. Also the placement of access port and location of the monitor image often differ between each institutions. Thoracic surgeons need to know these features to perform good TS. In our department, 2,375 patients (98% of all operation) were underwent

Paediatric Thoracoscopic Surgery
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2012Thoracoscopic surgery is now an integral part of paediatric practice. The evolution of instrumentation, optics and haemostatic devices have enabled even the most complex procedures to be carried out thoracoscopically. Although randomised studies are limited in children, thoracoscopic surgery appears to offer outcomes at least equivalent to that of open

Thoracoscopic pulmonary surgery
Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2007Thoracoscopy in infants and children has undergone a dramatic evolution in the last 30 years. From its infancy in the mid-1970s, limited procedures such as biopsy and pleural lysis, were pioneered by Rogers and others, and in the late 1990s, the most delicate of procedures, a tracheo-esophageal fistula repair, was performed thoracoscopically for the ...

[Thoracoscopic esophagectomy].
Nihon Geka Gakkai zasshi, 2002The current roles of thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the treatment of cancer in Japan are described. Lymphadenectomy of the same quality as open surgery should be performed thoracoscopically to obtain good oncological outcomes. The indications for thoracoscopic esophagectomy are 1) no extensive pleural adhesions; 2) pulmonary function sufficient for ...
