Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery diverticulectomy of oesophagus: Two cases

We report two cases of successful oesophageal diverticulectomy through uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). In both cases, a chest computed tomography showed huge mid-oesophageal diverticulum. Gastrointestinal endoscopy confirmed a diverticulum on the right wall. Surgical treatment through uniportal VATS was planned and performed successfully. We recommend that uniportal VATS could be a feasible method for oesophageal diverticulectomy.

Abstract

We report two cases of successful oesophageal diverticulectomy through uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). In both cases, a chest computed tomography showed huge mid-oesophageal diverticulum. Gastrointestinal endoscopy confirmed a diverticulum on the right wall. Surgical treatment through uniportal VATS was planned and performed successfully. We recommend that uniportal VATS could be a feasible method for oesophageal diverticulectomy.
