The PaCO2, SaO2, PaO2 and circulation changes were recorded during the operation; the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and other perioperative outcomes, including clinical and surgical results, operating time, blood loss, postoperative complication and postoperative pain score were compared.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 59 patients diagnosed with an anterior mediastinal tumour or myasthenia gravis underwent a video-assisted thoracoscopic resection. Thirty-one patients were treated via the subxiphoid approach, and 28 patients were treated via the lateral intercostal approach. The PaCO2 increased significantly and the SaO2 remained stable in the subxiphoid group during the operation, whereas PaCO2 increased significantly and SaO2 decreased at the same time in the lateral intercostal group. Operations were more frequently interrupted for the hypoxia or circulation disturbance during the process of dissecting the thymus in the lateral intercostal approach. Compared with the lateral intercostal approach, patients treated via the subxiphoid approach experienced less inflammation and exhibited lower pain scores and shorter postoperative hospital stays. There were no significant differences in postoperative complications between the 2 groups. All of the patients recovered well when discharged.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our study results suggested that the subxiphoid approach has less of an influence on the pulmonary circulation than the lateral intercostal approach, that the whole procedure is safer and easier and that the subxiphoid approach may be the ideal choice for patients with anterior mediastinal disease.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/icvts\/ivae067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,18]],"date-time":"2024-04-18T02:12:58Z","timestamp":1713406378000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A proof-of-concept study: advantages of the subxiphoid over the lateral intercostal approach"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2389-4110","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gengxu","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University , Zhangjiakou City, P.R.
