Objective To discuss the safety, feasibility and short-term clinical efficacy of thoracoscopic anterior mediastinal mass resection in lithotomy position via subxiphoid approach or lateral position via transthoracic approach.Methods A total of 44 patients suffering anterior mediastinal tumor enrolled, including 21 patients (10 males and 11 females as a trial group) with an average age of 43.6±11.8 years who have been performed thoracoscopic anterior mediastinal tumor resection in lithotomy position via subxiphoid approach and 23 patients (13 males and 10 females as a control group) with an average age of 45.3±10.8 years who have been performed thoracoscopic anterior mediastinal tumor resection in lateral position via transthoracic approach. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.Results Postoperative chest drainage time (3.8±1.3 d vs. 5.0±1.8 d, P=0.017), postoperative drainage volume (238.8±66.2 mL vs. 467.2±120.0 mL, P=0.000), postoperative mean visual analogue score at 24 h (2.5±0.9 point vs. 4.9±1.0 point, P=0.000), times of self-pressure analgesic pump (3.7±0.9 vs. 8.4±2.0, P=0.000), duration of postoperative hospital stay (4.7±1.3 d vs. 7.4±3.1 d, P=0.000) and hospitalization cost (34±8 kyaun vs. 44±11 kyuan P=0.001) in the trial group were all better than those in the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in surgical duration (59.0±18.1 min vs. 60.4±16.4 min) (P>0.05). During follow-up, no recurrence or metastasis occurred in either group.Conclusion Compared with the lateral position through the transthoracic approach, the lithotomy position through subxiphoid approach of thoracoscopic anterior mediastinal mass resection is safe and feasible, and has certain advantages.
