Subxiphoid-subcostal versus transthoracic thoracoscopic thymectomy: A safe and feasible approachCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]

JTCVS Techniques, 2022
Objective: Subxiphoid-subcostal thoracoscopic thymectomy (ST) is an emerging alternative to transthoracic thoracoscopic thymectomy. Potential advantages of ST are the avoidance of intercostal incisions and visualization of both phrenic nerves in their ...

Robot versus video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy for large thymic epithelial tumors: a propensity-matched analysis [PDF]

BMC Surgery, 2023
Background Both video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy and robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) thymectomy have been suggested as technically sound approaches for early-stage thymic epithelial tumors. However, the choice of VATS or

Meta-analysis of subxiphoid approach versus lateral approach for thoracoscopic Thymectomy [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background Compared with traditional open surgery for thymectomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) reduces hospital stay, decreases postoperative pain, and recovers faster. VATS has become increasingly popular in the past decade.

Surgical outcomes of thoracoscopic extended thymectomy via subxyphoid and left intercostal approach [PDF]

Frontiers in Surgery
BackgroundMinimally invasive thymectomy is widely adopted for the management of thymic diseases and myasthenia gravis (MG). Among thoracoscopic techniques, the intercostal approach (ICA) is the most commonly used, whereas the subxiphoid approach (SA) has
