Muscle-Sparing Thoracotomy: A Systematic Literature Review and the “Ave” Classification

Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research

Research Article

Abstract
Background: To synthesize the concept of muscle-sparing thoracotomies for major pulmonary
resections and to explore the relationship between Kraissl’s lines and skin incisions perpendicular to
them. Methods: Systematic literature review was performed of MEDLINE database. Articles were
selected if they described adult patients undergoing major pulmonary resection by way of a welldescribed thoracotomy that neither partially nor completely transects extra thoracic muscles, and that is independent of endoscopic instruments, and video technology. Median sternotomy was excluded.
