Context And Objective: Minimally invasive video-assisted gasless thyroidectomy (MIVAT) has mainly been described in Italy and has been demonstrated to be a safe procedure with additional advantages regarding cosmetic results and postoperative outcome. The aim of this work is to analyze our preliminary results from minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy.
Design And Setting: Retrospective study at the Head and Neck Surgery Service of Hospital Ana Costa, Santos.
Methods: Twelve patients underwent hemithyroidectomy and another three underwent total thyroidectomy by means of minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy between June and September 2004. Gender, age, goiter volume, major diameter of the dominant nodule, duration of surgery, pain complaints during the first postoperative day, length of hospital stay, cosmetic result and complications were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: All the patients were women, with median age of 34. The median goiter volume was 16.5 ml, and the median major diameter of the nodule was 2.3 cm. Ten patients reported mild pain at the surgical site. The median scar size was 2.0 cm and all patients considered the cosmetic results excellent. The median duration of surgery was 55 minutes, all patients were discharged on the first postoperative day, and there were no complications.
Conclusions: The outcome from minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy is good in terms of cosmetic results, analgesia and postoperative recovery. The scar is shorter than in the conventional procedure.

The Y incision and roof technique for aortic valve replacement enable implantation of a large prosthetic valve and extensive enlargement of the sinotubular junction. Surgeons have been reluctant to adopt a minimally invasive approach for this procedure because of its complexity and risk. The Stonehenge technique was designed to achieve an ideal surgical view of the aortic root through a small right thoracotomy.

One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is growing in popularity, although it is potentially associated with biliary gastritis and gastroesophageal reflux esophagitis, with a potential rise in esophageal carcinoma. We describe the surgical management of a 53-year-old man with history of OAGB in whom biliary reflux and esophageal adenocarcinoma developed. We performed a minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, resected the sleeved stomach pouch, created a new conduit out of the remnant greater curve of the remnant stomach with blood supply from an intact gastroepiploic artery, and created an esophagogastric anastomosis.

The combination of thoracoscopic and transmanubrial approaches provides good visualization and maneuverability of the cervicothoracic junction area. Here we report the case of a young woman with a mediastinal tumor extending to the neck who first underwent a thoracoscopic approach followed by a transmanubrial approach. This procedure was superior in terms of technical advantages and preserved function as well as minimally invasive and cosmetically pleasing.
