The Curative Effect of Extended Thymectomy Performed Through

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Extended thymectomy is the main treatment for thymoma and other anterior mediastinal diseases. Video-assisted thoracic surgery(VATS) plays an important role in the surgery of extended thymectomy. Now, VATS thymectomy through intercostal approach has been the commonly used minimally invasive surgical procedure for thymus surgery and is applied worldwide. But the intercostal approach may cause residue of thymus tissue and chronic pain. In 2013, doctor Marcin Zielin´ski form Poland reported a new technique of minimally invasive extended thymectomy performed through the VATS approach with double elevation of the sternum. And their early results proved this technique is probably the least invasive and the most complete technique of VATS thymectomy with excellent cosmetic results. Until now, doctor Jiang Fan form Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital has performed 50 cases extended thymectomy through the subxiphoid approach with double elevation of the sternum by VATS. This study is designed to compare the curative effect between this new method and traditional intercostal VATS.

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a prospective multicentre cohort study.The main study content is comparative study of the curative effect of extended thymectomy performed through the subxiphoid-right video-thoracoscopic approach with double elevation of the sternum versus intercostal video-thoracoscopic approach, divided into subxiphoid and intercostal groups. Communicating with the surgeon and patients who meet the inclusion criteria, decide whether to enter the subxiphoid or intercostal group. Subxiphoid group with subxiphoid-right video-thoracoscopic approach under double elevation of the sternum in extended thymectomy , intercostal group with traditional intercostal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in extended thymectomy. By collecting personal information of two groups of patients and the corresponding observation indicators to analyze whether the subxiphoid-right VATS approach with double elevation of the sternum is the least invasive and the most complete technique of VATS thymectomy. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
