Synchronous carcinoma of oesophageal and lung treated with laparoscopic-thoracoscopic cooperative surgery: A case report

Abstract

Traditional open surgery has been used and was regarded as suitable alternatives to synchronous carcinoma of oesophageal and lung. However, few previous reports described laparoscopic-thoracoscopic cooperative surgery for it. In this present case, we report synchronous carcinoma of oesophageal and lung with laparoscopic-thoracoscopic cooperative surgery, showing new successfully approach treated with minimally invasive laparoscopic-thoracoscopic surgery.
