Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the results of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in treatment of thymic tumors in Viet Duc Hospital.


Methods: The retrospective study, 32 thymic tumors were treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery from 01/ 2008 to 05/ 2014 of the variables before, during and after operation and the pathological results.


Results: 18 male and 14 female. Mean age 50,8 ± 9,3 (14 – 68). The main symptom is chest pain on admission 15/ 21 (71, 4%). The largest tumor size 10 x 7cm, the smallest tumor size 3,3 x 2,7cm. Operation time 124,4 ± 13,5 min (60-160). Number of hospital days 4,2 ± 0,7 days (3-8). No mortality and major complications after operation. Pathological results: 08 thymoma type A, 05 thymoma type AB, 12 thymoma type B1, 07 thymoma type B2.


 Conclusion: Treatment of thymic tumors by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a method of safe and feasible, good results after operation.
