| Popis: | Incisional access to pulmonary pathology involving both lungs has often involved bilateral standard thoracotomies, median sternotomy, and, recently, sequential lateral video-assisted thoracic surgical approaches. Significant problems are inherent to each of these approaches. We introduce a hybrid technique of bilateral simultaneous minithoracotomy with video assistance as an alternative to these other surgical approaches. |
