Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Carinal Resection and Reconstruction in A Case of Primary Tracheal Tumor

Tracheal tumors located in the carina are quite rare. Resection and reconstruction of carinal tumors are technically more challenging due to their locations. The most commonly preferred method is right posterolateral thoracotomy. In this study, a case of carinal resection and reconstruction performed using video-assisted thoracoscopy is presented. According to our knowledge, this case is the first video thoracoscopic carina resection and reconstruction performed in Turkey.
