摘要

We applied a heart positioner during operations to remove large mediastinal tumors. Fixing and lifting the tumor with this device allowed a good view behind the tumor. Separating the tumor from surrounding structures was easy and safe, with no risk of insult. The device caused no damage to the tumor capsule. This could represent a novel method to remove large mediastinal tumors safely and effectively.
