Objective: The authors report their initial experience with the transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach for resection of sulcus superior tumours. The feasibility of this technique is evaluated.
Patients: Between February 2000 and March 2002 three patients with sulcus superior tumours were surgically treated using the transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach. The first two patients had a non-small cell carcinoma of the upper lobe. In the third patient a pathological diagnosis of a plasmocytoma of the first rib was made. In two cases the first thoracic root was resected.
Results: In two patients a complete R0 resection was achieved. However, an additional posterolateral thoracotomy was necessary in two patients because the costovertebral angle was difficult to address. In one patient final histologic examination found microscopically positive margins.
Conclusion: We believe that the transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing technique enables us to approach and control the subclavian vessels and brachial plexus in an oncologically responsible way and permits a radical resection of tumours invading the thoracic inlet.

Article Synopsis
- The subclavian vessel surgery faces challenges due to limited access, but open repair may be necessary for issues like large aneurysms or trauma, leading to the use of the transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach, which offers better visibility.
- Three case studies illustrate the effectiveness of this technique: one involving an aneurysm, another dealing with an abscess from a forgotten guidewire, and a third correcting a misplaced dialysis catheter.
- The transmanubrial approach was consistently used under cardiopulmonary bypass support, demonstrating its utility and safety in complex subclavian procedures.

Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 33 patients between 2014 and 2024 reported no deaths and a 21.2% complication rate, with all surgeries achieving radical (R0) status.
- * TMA is considered safe and conservative; it allows for effective tumor removal without extra surgery for low-grade tumors and facilitates more extensive resection for high-grade tumors.

We report the rare case of an obese woman with a 32-mm isolated innominate artery aneurysm. Due to the deep location of the aneurysm within the thoracic inlet, we selected a transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach to obtain a clear field of vision. During the aneurysmectomy and reconstruction with a Y-shaped graft, we performed a temporary bypass using a contralateral leg of the graft to the right common carotid artery.

Purpose: The hemiclamshell (HCS) approach provides a comprehensive view of the anterior mediastinum, whereas the transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach (TMA) allows sufficient exposure of the cervico-thoracic transition. We assessed the effectiveness and the outcomes of the combined HCS plus TMA approach to resect thoracic malignant tumors.
Methods: We reviewed five patients with thoracic malignant tumors invading the thoracic outlet who underwent surgery using an HCS and TMA approach between 2018 and 2021.

We report the case of a child suffering from a neonatal cervicomediastinal neuroblastoma encasing the left subclavian artery and the left vertebral artery. There is only a few pediatric tumors extending from the neck to the upper part of the thorax. Because of the complex vascular and neurological anatomy of this area, the surgical excision of these cervicothoracic neuroblastomas is a real challenge.
