Abstract
We described here a method of port-reduced thoracoscopic surgery by application of a magnetic traction system. We applied this technique for a 28-year-old male with spontaneous pneumothorax and a 68-year-old male with peripheral lung nodule. To reduce postoperative chest wall paresthesia related to the portal sites, new methods such as single-incision thoracoscopic surgery (SITS) have been exploited. However, this technique has a few limitations, such as reduced working space, triangulation difficulty, and instrument collision. To overcome these limitations, development of new instruments is needed. This is the first report on use of a magnetic traction system for thoracoscopic surgery.
