Thoracoscopic resection of a pericardial cyst

G Szinicz et al. Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 1992 Aug.

Abstract

The development of new instruments that can be applied endoscopically opens up new possibilities for minimally invasive thoracic surgery. The surgical technique is exemplified by a thoracoscopic resection of a pericardial cyst. The benefits for the patient are impressive: minimization of surgical trauma and postoperative pain, a short convalescence, and an optimal cosmetic outcome.
