Abstract
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is an extremely rare anomaly characterized by a left‐to‐right reversal of all the thoracic and abdominal organs. Only 11 cases of esophageal cancer with SIT have been reported worldwide, most of which underwent hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) but not total MIE. Here, we report a case of esophageal cancer with SIT successfully treated by total MIE, with a right lateral‐prone position adopted during the thoracic procedure. The relevant literature is also discussed and reviewed.

Luo M, Kong D. Subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A cosmetically superior approach to submammary rib tumor resection. Thorac Cancer 2019; 10:2316-2318. [PMID: 31668007 PMCID: PMC6885424 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.13218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2019] [Revised: 09/22/2019] [Accepted: 09/23/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
This report describes a cosmetically superior approach to submammary rib tumor resection. Surgical resection is the most effective method for the treatment of rib tumors. Common surgical methods include thoracotomy and thoracoscopic surgery. Subxiphoid uniportal video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has recently been described and is being increasingly used in a variety of thoracic procedures, including thymectomy, lobectomy, and resection of giant pleural fibroids. However, there has been no report in the literature which has described the use of uniportal subxiphoid VATS for rib tumor resection. We herein report the successful removal of fibrous dysplasia of the anterolateral segment of the sixth rib by subxiphoid uniportal VATS.
