Clinical evaluation of the impact of mediastinal tumour size on the subxiphoid approach video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

In the cohort of patients with larger tumours, a higher amount of blood loss (group A: 18.2 ± 11.0, group B: 21.4 ± 20.6, group C: 22.4 ± 19.3) and longer drainage time (group A: 2.5 ± 0.8, group B: 2.7 ± 1.0, group C: 3.0 ± 1.7) were observed, although these differences did not reach statistical significance ( P > 0.05).
