Abstract
A technique for extrapleural pneumonectomy in diffuse, malignant, pleural mesothelioma is described. The technique used in a protocol at Brigham and Women's Hospital has resulted in improved operative mortality figures and length of hospital stay. The right-sided procedure is presented followed by differences in technique required by the left-sided approach.
