Pediatric Surgery International, 2008
Thoracotomies in children have been less extensively studied, as the incidence of diseases necessitating thoracotomies is low in the pediatric age group. This study reviews childhood thoracic diseases, thoracotomy approaches, indications, and complications.

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2006
Lateral thoracotomies include many different variants with a common final pathway, consisting of an intercostal incision. They are the most frequent incisions in daily thoracic procedures. Axillary thoracotomy has increased the interest in muscle-sparing approaches. Surgical techniques, indications, pitfalls and tips are described.

Spine, 1991
The incidence of thoracic scoliosis after completion of growth was studied in a group of patients operated on in childhood with a lateral thoracotomy for esophageal atresia and cardiac and pulmonary disorders. Twenty of 61 patients had a thoracic scoliosis exceeding 10 degrees.

Thoracotomy in the octogenarian
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1991Octogenarians are rarely referred for thoracic operations, presumably owing to the perceived morbidity of thoracotomy and the presumed frailty and limited life span of the 80-year-old patient. To determine if these concerns are valid, we reviewed our operative experience in 50 patients 80 years of age or older (mean age, 82.7 years; range, 80 to 91 ...

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1987
There continues to be a debate on the indications for and value of the emergency department thoracotomy, especially with regard to the subject of thoracotomy performed by the emergency physician. The current literature does not deal specifically with thoracotomies performed in the emergency department by an emergency physician on trauma patients.

If post-thoracotomy pain is the target, Integrated Thoracotomy is the choice
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019Despite the overgrowth of procedures done by VATS, there are still needs for thoracotomy. Post-thoracotomy pain plays an important role in many post-operative morbidities. Surgeons should make efforts to evolve new techniques to reduce post-thoracotomy pain with its associated morbidities.

Emergency department thoracotomy
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1982The charts of 33 consecutive patients undergoing emergency department thoracotomies between July 1, 1979 and June 30, 1980 were reviewed. Thoracotomies were performed in victims of both blunt and penetrating trauma who had suffered cardiopulmonary arrest and were refractory to the usual methods of resuscitation. Overall survival was 12.1% (4/33). There

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2016
This article reviews and summarizes the pathophysiology, risk factors, and the management of arrhythmias in patients undergoing noncardiac thoracic surgery.Cardiac arrhythmias are common findings in the perioperative period, particularly with increasing age. They often complicate the course of the patient's recovery after operation.

Emergency thoracotomy for injury
Injury, 1986Emergency thoracotomy is required in 10-15 per cent of all patients with thoracic injury. Nine specific indications for emergency thoracotomy have been described for injured persons. A variety of incisions is available to the surgeon, and selection of the appropriate incision is based on radiographic and clinical findings.
