The hemiclamshell incision offers crucial thoracic exposure for removing large masses. This video demonstrates its use in a left pneumonectomy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Video Tutorials

Background:

  • Median sternotomy and minimally invasive techniques have largely superseded hemiclamshell and clamshell incisions.
  • These approaches remain valuable for specific complex thoracic cases requiring extensive exposure.
