Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in spontaneous hemopneumothorax

The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1998
We retrospectively studied the safety and utility of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of spontaneous hemopneumothorax. Of 128 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax operated on our hospital from April 1988 to October 1997, hemopneumothorax developed in 8 cases (2 cases treated by thoracotomy and 6 by VATS).

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Catamenial Hemoptysis

Chest, 2001
Catamenial hemoptysis is a rare condition, and only 36 cases have been reported since the first published case. We describe a woman with catamenial hemoptysis recurring over 8 years. The lesion was diagnosed using chest CT scan during menses and was also visualized clearly via thoracoscopy.

Subxiphoid video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery versus standard video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for anatomic pulmonary lobectomy

Journal of Surgical Research, 2016
A subxiphoid surgical approach to thoracic cavity operations has potential advantages such as preventing injuries to intercostal nerves and vessels due to the bypass of the intercostal space during thoracic surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the feasibility and efficacy of the subxiphoid and standard transthoracic approaches for anatomic ...

The Wider Scope of Video‐Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

AORN Journal, 2007
In the past, rudimentary devices were used to look closely into the chest; currently, advanced video technology, computers, and high-tech electronics are being used to perform many surgical procedures that formerly required a large, open incision. The goal of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is the same as for comparable open procedures, but
