Abstract
Here we introduce a manual tunnel approach to remove the mediastinal lymph nodes and highlight the conception of non-clamping during dissection. We describe two cases of pulmonary malignancy performing a strategic lobectomy and systemic dissection of mediastinal lymph nodes via single port. The technique of tunnel dissection without clamping ensure to satisfy the requirement of oncology and clinical criteria. By efficiently specifying surgery procedure and improving dissection thoroughness, our approach should be implemented.Entities:
