Video-Assisted Subxiphoid Pericardiectomy
Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1995We report a case of malignant pericardial effusion with chronic tamponade treated by video-assisted subxiphoid pericardiectomy in a 58-year-old female. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia through a 3.5-cm midline incision over the xiphoid process using a mediastinoscope, a 5-mm telescope connected to the video camera, and an endoscopic ...

Video assisted thoracic surgery
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1993Using video thoracoscopic techniques in 30 patients over a twelve month period we have been able to perform 33 procedures that would have been previously performed by thoracotomy, with its associated morbidity. We have found the applications of this procedure to be diverse, being both diagnostic (n = 16) and therapeutic (n = 17).

We compared the efficacy and complications of video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) and video-assisted mediastinal lymphadenectomy (VAMLA) for mediastinal staging of lung cancer.Between March 2006 and July 2008, a total of 157 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) underwent VAM (n = 113, 72%) or VAMLA (n = 44, 28%).
