Thoracoscopic Enucleation of a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of the Esophagus
Autor*innen
Abstract
Since the introduction of thoracoscopy in surgery, many thoracic interventions have been considered feasible and safe via the thoracoscopic route. We report the case of a 42-year-old man with a 7.5-cm esophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Thoracoscopic enucleation of the tumor was performed and the patient was discharged on the third postoperative day after tolerating a full oral diet. Given the well-known advantages of minimally invasive surgery, we believe that removal of esophageal submucosal tumors can be attempted using a thoracoscopic approach, even if the tumor is large.
