Standard video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has been reported as a minimally invasive approach alternative to sternotomy for management of myasthenia gravis (MG) associated with thymoma or thymic hyperplasia. Uniportal video-thoracoscopy is an evolution of standard multi-portal video-thoracoscopy for management of several thoracic diseases but its role for resecting mediastinal tumor remains under-evaluated. Herein, we describe our experience with bilateral uniportal thoracoscopic sequential extended thymectomy with case and video illustrations.
标准电视辅助胸腔镜手术已被报道为一种微创方法,可替代胸骨切开术用于治疗与胸腺瘤或胸腺增生相关的重症肌无力(MG)。单孔胸腔镜是标准多孔胸腔镜在治疗多种胸部疾病方面的发展,但它在切除纵隔肿瘤方面的作用仍未得到充分评估。在此,我们通过病例和视频说明来描述我们进行双侧单孔胸腔镜序贯扩大胸腺切除术的经验。
