We report a case of single-incision bilateral partial lung resection using the subxiphoid approach. This approach requires a 3-cm incision in the abdomen, making it aesthetically favorable. In addition, it does not cause postoperative intercostal neuropathy, and postoperative pain is minimal because the intercostal space is bypassed. Moreover, this technique enables exposure to both lungs through a single incision and has potential for widespread use if maneuverability can be increased by improving the instruments used.

Posterior Component Separation (PCS) is a surgical technique used in abdominal wall reconstruction. Understanding the relationship between the rectus abdominis and transversus abdominis muscles and the location of intercostal nerves is crucial for minimizing nerve injury during PCS. This cadaveric study aimed to investigate these anatomical relationships and propose practical guidelines for safer PCS procedures.

Background The adoption of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has increased over the past 25 to 30 years, driven by advancements in technology and a growing understanding of its benefits. This study evaluates the outcomes of 144 elective MICS procedures performed between January 2019 and September 2024. Methods Patients underwent various surgical approaches, including upper mini-sternotomy, mini-thoracotomy, and sub-xiphoid access.

Background: While the subxiphoid approach (SA) in thoracoscopic thymectomy offers benefits in terms of fat removal and pain reduction, it remains unclear which patients with anterior mediastinal masses benefit most from the subxiphoid vs. the lateral intercostal approach (LA).
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed patients treated for anterior mediastinal masses at our center from January 2019 to December 2023.

A 70-year-old man presented with the growth of an anterior mediastinal nodule on a follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan after undergoing lung cancer surgery. Positron emission tomography (PET)-CT performed at the time of lung cancer surgery did not recognize any accumulation, but PET-CT performed this time confirmed the accumulation of standardized uptake value( SUV) max 5.57.
