Subxiphoid video–assisted thoracoscopic extend thymectomy with sternal suspension for thymoma
The results show that subxiphoid video-assisted thoracoscopic total thymectomy with sternal suspension is an innovative and effective surgical method, achieving the same tumor eradication as other thoracic surgeries. The flexible switching of observation ports provides a more comprehensive surgical field, reduces surgical trauma and complications, and improves the surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients.
