This study analyzed 159 patients with mediastinal benign teratomas across five hospitals from 2014–2024, comparing subxiphoid thoracoscopic surgery with other surgical approaches. Among the 26 patients undergoing subxiphoid surgery, the median operative time was 80 minutes with 20mL of blood loss and 100 percent complete resection rates.

Minimally Invasive
October 16, 2025
October 16, 2025
This video demonstrates a patient who previously underwent mitral valve surgery and later received a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR); however, both the TAVR and the tricuspid valves became severely incompetent.
October 15, 2025
This video demonstrates the removal of a four-year-old Evolute transcatheter aortic valve replacement and the placement of a 23 mm surgical aortic valve.
October 15, 2025
This video demonstrates the successful surgical intervention of ascending aorta replacement in a patient following complications from a previously implanted Sapiens TAVR.
October 14, 2025
This video demonstrates the surgical management of a 77-year-old patient with streptococcus endocarditis following a previous transcatheter aortic valve replacement, necessitating an aortic root replacement.
October 14, 2025
This video demonstrates the urgent removal of a transcatheter aortic valve replacement due to a contained aortic annulus rupture and the subsequent repair using a Dacron patch.
October 13, 2025
This video demonstrates a redo surgical aortic valve replacement after the removal of both a valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement and a previous surgical aortic valve.
Lighting the Way: How ICG Enables Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgeries in Resource-Limited Settings
October 9, 2025
This video demonstrates that Indocyanine Green fluorescence is a safe, affordable, and effective adjunct that expands access to minimally invasive surgery in resource-limited settings, enabling surgeons to deliver high-quality, equitable care.
October 7, 2025
This video demonstrates a novel technique combining video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and laparoscopy to repair a large diaphragmatic hernia.
October 2, 2025
This study analyzed data from the UK Mini Mitral trial, which compared recovery in patients undergoing either a sternotomy or a minimally invasive thoracoscopically-guided right minithoracotomy procedure for mitral valve repair, using wrist-worn triaxial accelerometers to track physical activity and sleep.
