Imaged thoracoscopic surgery: a new thoracic technique for resection of mediastinal cysts

RJ Lewis, RJ Caccavale and GE Sisler
University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick.

Previously, intrathoracic organs have been approached by either thoracotomy or thoracoscopy. A technique, imaged thoracoscopic surgery, using video optics and projection of images on a screen provides another option for the thoracic surgeon. Two patients with mediastinal cysts, one bronchogenic and one esophageal, underwent surgical removal using imaged thoracoscopic surgery. Postoperative pain was markedly reduced, hospitalization shortened, and recovery accelerated. Numerous complex surgical procedures can be performed using imaged thoracoscopic surgery.
