Abstract
We report a case of benign multinodular goiter with right sided posterior mediastinal extension managed by a simplified anaesthetic and surgical protocol. Single lumen endotracheal tube was used for intubation. Access to mediastinum was obtained by 2 working ports in 2nd and 4th intercostal spaces. Mediastinal extension is dissected thoracoscopically and delivered cervically. Post operative course was uneventful with no pulmonary and surgical morbidity.Entities:
