Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic right lower and middle sleeve bilobectomy for a neglected carcinoid tumor.


ABSTRACT: The bronchial carcinoid (BC) tumor is a neuroendocrine lung tumor that accounts for 1-2% of all lung neoplasia occurrences. However, BC tumors remain rare in the literature. Nowadays, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery VATS can be safely performed with an excellent clinical outcome. The typical procedure involves three incisions. We assume that performing the same procedures with a single utility incision is possible. This report describes our experience performing sleeve bilobectomy for a neglected carcinoid tumor using a uniportal VATS without spreading of ribs.
