Transesophageal endoscopic resection of mediastinal cysts (with video)

Primary mediastinal cysts are infrequent lesions derived from a variety of mediastinal organs or structures. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice even in asymptomatic patients to prevent severe adverse events (AEs) and establish the diagnosis. Transesophageal endoscopic resection of benign mediastinal tumors has been proven feasible. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of transesophageal endoscopic surgery for mediastinal cysts.
