Abstract:
Thoracoscopic operations for benign mediastinal tumors have been useful. However, it is difficult to remove cystic mediastinal tumors completely because of their cystic structure. We herein describe a useful technique of tumor cannulation that allows for the simple and safe removal of these tumors.
