Abstract:
Chest wall involvement from lung malignancy presents technical challenges for a minimally invasive surgical approach. Recently, new thoracoscopic rib cutting instrumentation has been developed and may offer a safe and efficient resection. Compared with thoracotomy, thoracoscopic lung and chest wall resection may potentially lower the morbidity associated with chest wall resection by thoracotomy. We present a case of thoracoscopic lobectomy with an en bloc chest wall resection.
