A new thoracoscopic technique to enucleate esophageal leiomyomas is described. The procedure has been successfully performed in 3 patients. All patients benefited by this new surgical approach due to the decreased operative trauma, reduced postoperative pain, quick recovery, and minute skin scars. Although further clinical experience and longer periods of follow-up are needed to evaluate the full benefits and limits of this new access, the early results of the thoracoscopic approach are promising.

Abstract
A new thoracoscopic technique to enucleate esophageal leiomyomas is described. The procedure has been successfully performed in 3 patients. All patients benefited by this new surgical approach due to the decreased operative trauma, reduced postoperative pain, quick recovery, and minute skin scars. Although further clinical experience and longer periods of follow-up are needed to evaluate the full benefits and limits of this new access, the early results of the thoracoscopic approach are promising.File in questo prodotto:
