[Minimally invasive surgery for cervico-mediastinal tumors: the choice of surgical approach].

Objective: To improve postoperative outcomes in patients with cervico-mediastinal tumors using minimally invasive surgical approaches.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 67 patients with cervico-mediastinal tumors who underwent surgery between 2002 and 2020. Outcomes of conventional surgeries (=29), VATS (=17), supraclavicular approach (=19) and their combination were analyzed.

[Partial cervicosternotomy for resection of non-bronchogenic tumors of the thoracic outlet].

Objective: To improve the results of surgical treatment of cervico-mediastinal tumors by using of partial upper cervicosternotomy.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 24 patients who underwent resection of cervico-mediastinal tumors via partial upper cervicosternotomy for the period from January 2002 to December 2019. Immediate and intermediate postoperative outcomes were analyzed.

[Long-term outcomes of thoracoscopic thymectomy for thymoma stage i-ii].

Objective: To compare long-term outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) and conventional open surgery in patients with early-stage (Masaoka stage I-II) thymic malignancies.

Material And Methods. A: Retrospective study included atients after VATS and open thymectomy for the period 2000-2019.

[Comparative analysis of thoracoscopic and open thymectomy for thymoma stage I-II].

Objective: To improve the short-term postoperative outcomes in patients with thymoma stage I-II by using of thoracoscopic thymectomy (VATS TE) and to compare this technique with open (OTE) thymectomy.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 98 patients who had undergone surgery for thymoma stage I and II for the period from January 2001 to December 2019. VATS TE (main group) was performed in 53 (54.

[Outcomes of minimally invasive surgery for mediastinal neurogenic tumors].

Objective: To improve postoperative outcomes in patients with mediastinal neurogenic tumors by using of minimally invasive surgical approaches.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 108 patients who underwent surgery for mediastinal neurogenic tumors for the period 2001-2019. Short-term outcomes of conventional and minimally invasive (VATS, supraclavicular approach and their combination with laminectomy) surgeries were analyzed.
