Abstract

In order to reduce the respiratory morbidity of thoracotomy in esophageal surgery, several methods have been used, such as blunt dissection and endoscopic dissection through mediastinoscopy. It seems that the latter reduces drastically the morbidity but does not allow full visualization of the esophageal wall, a disadvantage in some circumstances. We describe a thoracoscopic dissection of the esophagus which gives a large and magnified view of the pleural cavity, of the mediastinum, and of the esophagus.
