Brief Summary

Thoracoscopic assisted mediastinal thymectomy is currently one of the most commonly used surgical methods, but there are some deficiencies.Minimally invasive surgery through the subxiphoid approach can achieve a good surgical field of vision. (1) The surgical field is fully exposed. (2) damage to intercostal nerves can be avoided.(3) Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative Extubation time is similar to VATS. But there is still lack of evidence. In this study, 50 patients undergoing subxiphoid uniportal VATS and 50 patients undergoing intercostal uniportal VATS were included to evaluate the post-operative pain and quality of life after surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative pain

    visual analogue score (VAS-score) is to asses the development of acute and chronic pain after VATS surgery. 11 point numeric rating scale of 0 represented "no pain"and a score of 10 represented "worst pain ".

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Quality of life

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

Subxiphoid uniportal VATS

EXPERIMENTAL

Standard Subxiphoid single-port video assisted mediastinal thymectomy, no use of rib-spreader.

Procedure: Subxiphoid uniportal VATS

Intercostal uniportal VATS

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard Intercostal single-port video assisted mediastinal thymectomy, no use of rib-spreader.

Procedure: Intercostal uniportal VATS

Interventions

Patients were placed in a supine position, and the operating table was manipulated as needed to elevate the appropriate side of the body for surgery. The surgical procedures followed principles of pulmonary resections

Subxiphoid uniportal VATS

The surgical procedures followed principles of pulmonary resections

Intercostal uniportal VATS
