Abstract
A series of reports in the literature suggest that video assisted thoracoscopic resection of an esophageal leiomyoma offers distinct advantage over open approach. We describe a patient with esophageal leiomyoma who underwent surgical resection via thoracoscopic approach using four thoracic trocars. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 3.Entities:
