Tendon grafting is a key component of hand reconstructive procedures. Commercially produced tendon harvesters facilitate this grafting process but are not always available. We present an innovative technique that allows tendon harvest to be undertaken using equipment readily available in all hospitals. Only a scalpel blade and a plastic Yankauer suction tip are required. Two simple and rapid modifications are made to the suction tip using the blade prior to its use. The described tool has been conceived, refined and used successfully by the authors, without complications, and allows tendon harvest via the standard minimally invasive approach associated with a conventional harvester. Creating this improvised harvester is neither challenging nor time-consuming, and this cheap and effective substitute allows tendon grafts to be harvested using a minimal access approach in environments where a traditional harvester is not available, or not sterile.

Abstract Dumbbell-shaped thoracic tumors usually involve the spinal canal and the posterior thoracic cavity. Gross total resection is the treatment of choice, but techniques for surgical excision remain controversial. An anterolateral transthoracic approach may remove the paravertebral component of the tumor, but has limited or no control of the intracanal lesion. A combined posteroanterior approach requires a 2-stage surgery with significant morbidity. The preferred approach depends mainly on the tumor location, size, shape, and its specific anatomical relationship with the surrounding vital structures. We present a surgical video of a single-stage posterior minimally invasive approach for the management of a thoracic dumbbell tumor.
