  • Title: Thoracoscopic extrapleural pneumonectomy for mesothelioma.
    Author: Demmy TL, Platis IE, Nwogu C, Yendamuri S.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2011 Feb; 91(2):616-8. PubMed ID: 21256335.
    Abstract:
    Mesothelioma is the most common primary pleural malignancy. Surgical therapy offers limited cure benefits at the cost of high morbidity. Although technically challenging and performed rarely, a less invasive approach to extrapleural pneumonectomy was developed with the intent to speed convalescence, hasten adjuvant therapies, improve quality of life, and reduce wound surface area for possible tumor contamination.
