The first video is a right upper lobe microthymectomy with energy division of the posterior ascending artery and tumour retrieval from a subxiphoid port with lymphadenectomy, followed by a presentation about microlobectomy. 

Next, there is a case that was set up as for a microthymectomy. The authors used the flexdex needle holder and the L-hook ligasure device, which is a ligasure and a hook cautery in one. In fact, while the case was set up as a thymectomy and the approach was that used for a thymectomy, the mass turned out to be a solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura. It was 6cm in size, so this was again removed through a subxiphoid port and the patient made an excellent recovery. 

I hope you enjoy these videos. You can see more at www.microlobectomy.com.
