H Toomes, I Vogt-Moykopf

    Thoraxchirurgie, Vaskulare Chirurgie
    |August 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    A novel surgical technique, transmediastinal pleurotomy, allows exploration of the contralateral lung during standard thoracotomy. This method enables diagnostic and therapeutic resections with no complications in 20 cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Innovation

    Context:

    • Standard thoracotomy limits contralateral lung access.
    • Need for improved diagnostic and therapeutic options for thoracic conditions.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce and evaluate the novel transmediastinal pleurotomy technique.
    • To assess the feasibility and safety of exploring the contralateral lung via this approach.

    Summary:

    • The transmediastinal pleurotomy is a new surgical method.
    • It facilitates contralateral lung exploration and resection from a standard thoracotomy.
    • Twenty procedures were performed without complications.

    Impact:

    • Potential to expand surgical capabilities in thoracic procedures.
    • Offers a new minimally invasive option for lung diagnostics and therapeutics.
    • Demonstrates a safe and effective novel surgical approach.
