Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of thoracoscopic surgery of anterior mediastinal tumors via subxiphoid approach under scissors position (SASP) and lateral thoracic approach under lateral position (LALP).Methods Clinical data of 69 patients who received anterior mediastinal tumor excision surgery in our hospital from June 2016 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 32 males and 37 females with an average age of 46.38±11.52 years. The clinical effects of the two groups were compared.Results There was no perioperative death or conversion to thoracotomy. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the operative time (123.34±12.64 min vs. 125.05±17.02 min, P=0.642), intraoperative blood loss [50.00 (73.75) mL vs. 50.00 (80.00) mL, P=0.643], tumor diameter (2.75±0.57 cm vs. 2.89±0.45 cm, P=0.787) and total hospital expenses [32.70 (5.30) thousand yuan vs. 32.90 (4.80) thousand yuan, P=0.923]. However, the postoperative catheterization time [2.00 (1.00) d vs. 4.00 (1.50) d, P=0.000], postoperative drainage [260.00 (200.00) mL vs. 400.00 (225.00) mL, P=0.031], postoperative pain index [2.00 (1.00) points vs. 4.00 (2.00) points, P=0.000], postoperative analgesic time [1.50 (1.00) d vs. 3.00 (2.00) d, P=0.000], postoperative fever time [1.50 (1.00) d vs. 2.00 (1.00) d, P=0.000] in the SASP group were better than those in the LALP group.Conclusion Thoracoscopic surgery via SASP is more suitable for the treatment of anterior mediastinal tumor with rapid postoperative recovery and reduced pain, and the postoperative curative effect is definite. However, there is a high requirement for the surgical experience and techniques. It can be promoted in the clinic.
