    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Approaches
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures

    Background:

    • Traditional thoracotomy methods can be invasive.
    • Alternative surgical approaches are continually sought to improve patient outcomes.
    • Assessing novel surgical techniques is crucial for advancing thoracic surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of vertical axillary thoracotomy.
    • To compare vertical axillary thoracotomy with standard posterolateral thoracotomy and anterior mediastinotomy.
    • To determine the suitability of this approach for patients with respiratory compromise.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 109 thoracic operations performed between 1978 and 1981.
    • 106 patients underwent the vertical axillary thoracotomy procedure.

  • Data collection focused on operative ease, exposure adequacy, patient tolerance, and morbidity.

    • Main Results:

    • Vertical axillary thoracotomy provided rapid and straightforward access to the thoracic cavity.
    • Surgical exposure was deemed adequate for the procedures performed.
    • The approach was well-tolerated, with minimal morbidity, even in patients with compromised respiratory function.

    Conclusions:

    • Vertical axillary thoracotomy is a safe and effective surgical approach.
    • It offers an advantageous alternative to formal posterolateral thoracotomy and anterior mediastinotomy in selected cases.
    • This technique is recommended for thoracic surgeons seeking minimally invasive options.
