Abstract

Extraction of tumors remains a major problem in thoracoscopic surgery. In this study, we used an efficient instrument to morcellate a tumor during thoracoscopic surgery. The cosmetic result of this technique was satisfactory; thus, we suggest that this technique is a reliable option for use during thoracoscopic surgery for benign solid tumors.
