Three different surgical methods for large-sized anterior mediastinal tumors in real-world practice
VATS is an effective, minimally invasive, and safe procedure for large-sized anterior mediastinal tumors (5.0-10.0 cm) without an invasion of the surrounding organs, and maybe a feasible and secure method for large-sized anterior mediastinal tumors with an invasion of the surrounding organ (such as the pericardium, lung, or left innominate vein). Subxiphoid approach VATS is a less invasive procedure than intercostal approach VATS and traditional sternotomy due to its reduced blood loss and postoperative pain.
