Abstract
This report describes the first totally thoracoscopic tracheoplasty for a squamous cell carcinoma at the mediastinal trachea. The surgical procedure was conducted with five access incisions. A segment of the trachea was resected circumferentially, and the tracheal stumps were joined by an end-to-end anastomosis. The patient recovered rapidly and was discharged on the 12th postoperative day.Entities:
