Abstract
One of the potential disadvantages of conventional pleurectomy/decortication for malignant pleural mesothelioma is the need for opening the pleural sac, which might worsen survival. In this study, we have introduced non-incisional pleurectomy/decortication as an alternative technique that does not require the opening of the pleural sac.Entities:
