Thoracoscopic enucleation of a large esophageal leiomyoma using a three thoracic ports technique

BACKGROUND: Video assisted thoracoscopic resection of an esophageal leiomyoma offers distinct advantages over an open approach. Many papers have described various techniques of thoracoscopic resection. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 32-year old man who presented with intermittent dysphagia. Imagin...

description BACKGROUND: Video assisted thoracoscopic resection of an esophageal leiomyoma offers distinct advantages over an open approach. Many papers have described various techniques of thoracoscopic resection. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 32-year old man who presented with intermittent dysphagia. Imaging studies showed a large esophageal leiomyoma. He underwent thoracoscopic enucleation using a three thoracic-ports technique. CONCLUSION: Thoracoscopic enucleation can be technically performed using a three thoracic-ports technique.
