颈胸联合处可发生各种类型的肿瘤,由于这一狭小的解剖区域集中有重要的血管、神经、软组织、脏器和骨骼结构,因而手术切除十分困难。作者报告切除颈胸联合处肿瘤的手术方法,该方法包括颈前进路、胸骨正中切开和胸廓前部切开术,可充分暴露颈胸联合区的前面及前外侧面,避免损伤重要结构,保留胸锁关节。 Various types of tumors can occur at the cervical and thoracic junctions. Since this narrow anatomic region contains important blood vessels, nerves, soft tissues, organs, and skeletal structures, surgical resection is very difficult. The authors reported a surgical approach to resection of a cervical and thoracic junction tumor. This method includes a cervical approach, median sternotomy, and anterior thoracotomy to fully expose the anterior and anterior lateral surfaces of the cervical and thoracic junction to avoid damage to vital structures.
