Thoracoscopic Resection of Thoracic Inlet Neuroblastic Tumors in Young Children

Background: Thoracic inlet (TI) tumors are rare, and can be particularly challenging to resect due to proximity to mediastinal vessels and nerves. Traditional resection is typically performed through "trapdoor" or sternoclavicular incisions. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of thoracoscopic resection of this group of tumors. Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective chart review for children...
