摘要

背景:机器人辅助胸腔镜手术已成为前纵隔肿瘤切除的可行方法,而传统的开放手术,如胸骨正中切开术,仍然是联合切除邻近器官的首选。然而,当肿瘤扩展到一侧半胸时,可能需要额外的开胸手术。这种复杂的入路会对骨性胸廓造成严重损伤,增加手术并发症的风险,尤其是免疫功能低下的患者。病例介绍:一名77岁男性,在年度健康检查中发现前纵隔胸腺瘤,直径71毫米,怀疑累及左头臂静脉和左肺上叶。患者有复发性手术部位感染和需要免疫抑制治疗的泛膜性筋膜炎综合征病史。为了最大限度地减少任何胸廓破坏,计划根据血管或肺部侵犯将机器人手术与开放手术相结合的多学科方法。患者最初被放置在仰卧位,机器人停靠在右侧,进行胸腺剥离,发现与左头臂静脉有牢固的粘连。然后将机器人断开对接,并启动经手骨骨骼肌保留入路,在左头臂静脉的近端和远端控制下进行肿瘤切除。由于观察到侵犯上肺静脉近端及广泛的背侧粘连,将患者重新定位至右侧侧卧位,并行胸腔镜下左上节段切除术合并粘连松解术,完成R0切除术。患者在第1天拔管,但需要无创通气直到第5天。纵隔炎,可能是由于胸骨线感染,发生在第9天,需要清创,胸骨线取出,负压伤口治疗。治疗17天后,感染消退,允许进行隔离切除术和带蒂胸大肌肌皮瓣重建胸壁。通过避免全胸骨切开术,纵隔炎的范围被定位,允许有限的隔离切除术。伤口愈合令人满意,12个月无复发感染和最小的功能损害。结论:多学科方法为治疗侵袭性胸腺瘤提供了一个可行的选择,以减少术后发病率,特别是免疫功能低下的患者。术前手术计划对于指导术中决策和确保最佳结果至关重要。

Multidisciplinary surgical strategy for an invasive thymoma in an immunocompromised patient: a case of a successful resection and postoperative troubleshooting.

Background: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has become prevalent as a feasible approach for anterior mediastinal tumor resections, while conventional open surgery, such as a median sternotomy, remains preferred for a combined resection of adjacent organs. However, an additional thoracotomy may be necessary when tumors extend into one hemithorax. This complex approach can cause significant damage to the osseous thoracic cage, increasing the risk of surgical morbidity especially in immunocompromised patients.

Case presentation: A 77-year-old man presented with an anterior mediastinal thymoma measuring 71 mm, detected during an annual health check with suspected involvement of the left brachiocephalic vein and upper lobe of the left lung. The patient had a medical history of recurrent surgical site infections and fasciitis panniculitis syndrome requiring immunosuppressive therapy. To minimize any thoracic cage destruction, a multidisciplinary approach combining robotic surgery with open surgery according to vascular or pulmonary invasion was planned. The patient, initially placed in the supine position with the robot docked over the right side, underwent a thymic dissection, revealing a firm adhesion to the left brachiocephalic vein. The robot was then undocked, and a transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach was initiated, enabling a tumor dissection under the proximal and distal control of the left brachiocephalic vein. As invasion into the proximal upper pulmonary vein and extensive dorsal adhesions were observed, the patient was repositioned to the right lateral decubitus position, and a thoracoscopic left upper segmentectomy with adhesiolysis was performed, achieving an R0 resection. The patient was extubated on day 1 but required non-invasive ventilation until day 5. Mediastinitis, likely due to a sternal wire infection, developed on day 9, necessitating debridement, sternal wire removal, and negative pressure wound therapy. After 17 days of treatment, the infection subsided, allowing for a sequestrectomy and chest wall reconstruction with a pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap. By avoiding a total sternotomy, the extent of the mediastinitis was localized, allowing for a limited sequestrectomy. Wound healing was satisfactory, with no recurrent infection at 12 months and minimal functional impairment.

Conclusions: A multidisciplinary approach offers a feasible option for managing an invasive thymoma to minimize postoperative morbidity, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Preoperative surgical planning is essential for guiding intraoperative decision-making and ensuring optimal outcomes.
