Description
Shihao Xu and co-authors report results for a standardized right-side chest incision in keyhole surgery for thymus tumors, in a study from 2024. The approach aims to protect lung function and cut blood loss, pain, and hospital time. The team reviewed 63 patients treated from October 2022 to January 2024.
All 63 had the thoracoscopic operation. In 62, surgeons removed the tumor and nearby fat; one cancer case got a biopsy only, since the tumor had invaded large veins. Pathology found thymoma in 35 patients, including two cancers, plus benign overgrowth or cysts in the rest. Clean margins were the norm. Average operating time was about 57 minutes, with about 23 milliliters of blood loss, and chest drains stayed in under three days on average.
