Purpose of this Mini-Review is to evaluate the role of a thoracic surgeon in the surgical management of retrosternal goitre. A cervical approach is sufficient in the majority of the cases. On the other hand, there are cases where a cervical approach is combined with sternotomy or thoracotomy, depending on the position of the goitre, in the anterior or posterior mediastinum. On top of that, different minimally invasive approaches including video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted surgery (RATS) have been introduced, providing faster recovery, superior manoeuvrability and better aesthetic results.
本综述的目的是评估胸外科医生在胸骨后甲状腺肿手术治疗中的作用。在大多数情况下,颈部入路就足够了。另一方面,根据甲状腺肿在前纵隔或后纵隔的位置,有些病例需要将颈部入路与胸骨切开术或开胸术相结合。除此之外,还引入了包括电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)和机器人辅助手术(RATS)在内的不同微创方法,这些方法可实现更快的恢复、更好的可操作性和更佳的美观效果。
