Today, there is a strong increase in video-assisted thoracic surgery; however, there are still some diseases and interventions that need a wide pleural cavity exposure (i.e. sulcus tumours and extended resections). These complex procedures are usually performed via a standard posterolateral thoracotomy, which is a good approach but has significant disadvantage due to pain and difficulty coughing. We propose a new thoracotomy that avoids a dorsal muscle division but has the same intrathoracic exposure as a posterolateral thoracotomy.
如今,电视辅助胸腔镜手术的应用大幅增加;然而,仍有一些疾病和手术需要广泛暴露胸膜腔(如肺沟瘤和扩大切除术)。这些复杂手术通常通过标准后外侧开胸术进行,这是一种不错的方法,但由于疼痛和咳嗽困难存在明显缺点。我们提出一种新的开胸术,它避免了背阔肌的分离,但在胸腔内的暴露程度与后外侧开胸术相同。
