Thoracotomy Incision

The chest wall is a rare location of secondary hydatidosis, but secondary hydatidosis may occur from the rupture of a lung cyst, from a liver cyst invading the diaphragm into the pleural cavity, following previous thoracic surgery for hydatidosis, or by hematogenous spread. This report describes a case of chest wall hydatidosis, which was the primary disease site in the patient, who had no previous history or current disease (hydatidosis) at other sites. The cyst invaded and partially destroyed the 9th and 10th ribs and the 10th thoracic vertebra, and protruded outside the pleural cavity through the 9th intercostal space. Preoperative albendazole administration for 10 days, surgical resection of the disease through a posterolateral thoracotomy incision, and postoperative albendazole treatment resulted in a cure with no evidence of local recurrence or disease at other sites in four years of follow-up.

AbstractWe present a case of a 31-year-old male with a large atrial septal defect, who was found to have interrupted inferior caval vein with azygous continuation to the superior caval vein, which precluded transcutaneous closure by device. The defect was successfully closed with a 33 mm Occlutech Figula septal occluder using a sub-mammary small thoracotomy incision and per-atrial approach without using cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient was discharged home after 48 hours of procedure.

Thoracotomy Incision

The thoracotomy incision is essential for many thoracic surgery procedures. A number of different variations exist, and different techniques can be used, depending both on the patient and on the technical factors. The muscle-sparing technique was first described by Noirclerc et al. in 1973. [1] Initially, it was thought that preservation of the muscular structures compared with the results of a traditional posterolateral thoracotomy, in which the latissimus dorsi and sometimes the serratus anterior are often divided, would benefit long-term outcomes. However, subsequent study results have not demonstrated any difference in postoperative outcomes. The unequivocal benefit of a muscle-sparing approach is to preserve the latissimus dorsi for any future intervention, such as a procedure involving the chest wall and the intrathoracic flaps. In this video tutorial, we describe our approach to this commonly used incision, including the anatomy and the technical aspects used to provide optimal operative exposure and minimal postoperative complications while preserving the underlying musculature.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. Oesophageal GISTs are extremely uncommon, accounting for 0.7% of all GISTs, and their management is surrounded by some debate. We report a case of a 70-year-old man who was incidentally diagnosed with an oesophageal lesion on a 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. An endoscopic study revealed a non-obstructing 40 mm oesophageal lesion. Endoscopic ultrasound showed a well-circumscribed submucosal tumour on the middle oesophagus. Fine-needle aspiration was positive for CD117 and the overall features were of a GIST. After an initial thoracoscopic approach, the tumour was completely enucleated through a thoracotomy incision. The patient experienced no surgical complications and was discharged on day 4. Histopathology and immunohistochemical staining confirmed a low-risk GIST.

We describe a minimally invasive heart surgery application of the EinsteinVision 2.0 3D high-definition endoscopic system (Aesculap AG, Tuttlingen, Germany) in an 81-year-old man with severe tricuspid valve insufficiency. Fourteen years ago, he underwent a Ross procedure followed by a DDD pacemaker implantation 4 years later for tachy-brady-syndrome. His biventricular function was normal. We recommended minimally invasive tricuspid valve repair. The application of the aformentioned endoscopic system was simple, and the impressive 3D depth view offered an easy and precise manipulation through a minimal thoracotomy incision, avoiding the need for a rib spreading retractor.
