Abstract
Esophageal duplication is a rare congenital esophageal disorder. Surgical excision is the standard treatment for symptomatic esophageal duplication cysts. Traditionally, the resection is accomplished via thoracotomy; however, a minimally invasive approach is possible, avoiding the long hospital stay, the discomfort and the long recovery time due to a thoracotomy. The authors describe two cases of esophageal duplication resected via a left thoracoscopic approach.Entities:
