Abstract

Tracheal resection and reconstruction are traditionally approached with a right lateral thoracotomy or a median sternotomy. The thoracoscopic approach is usually applied in lung resection surgery in most hospitals but seldom used in tracheal resection. Three or more incisions are usually created during a thoracoscopic tracheal resection. We prescribed a method of single-incision thoracoscopic tracheal resection and reconstruction in a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the right tracheal wall.
