Summary
A modified subxiphoid thoracoscopic thymectomy using an auxiliary sternal retractor improves surgical access for thymic tumors. This technique enhances visualization and safety during minimally invasive thymectomy procedures.
Area of Science:
- Thoracic surgery
- Surgical oncology
Background:
- Minimally invasive thymectomy via subxiphoid approach is gaining traction for thymic tumors.
- The subxiphoid approach can be challenging due to limited retrosternal space.
- An auxiliary sternal retractor can overcome these limitations.
