Between 1978 and 1981, we have used a vertical axillary thoracotomy in 106 patients for 109 operations. The approach provides a fast and easy entrance into the thoracic cavity. Exposure was adequate. The procedure was well tolerated, even by patients with respiratory compromise, and morbidity was minimal. This approach is recommended as an alternative to the formal posterolateral thoracotomy and anterior mediastinotomy in selected patients.
1978年至1981年间，我们采用垂直腋下开胸术对106例患者进行了109次手术。该入路可快速、简便地进入胸腔。暴露充分。该手术耐受性良好，即使是呼吸功能受损的患者，并发症也很少。对于部分患者，推荐将此入路作为传统后外侧开胸术和前纵隔切开术的替代方法。
