We report the new operative technique for resection of peripheral bronchogenic carcinoma with chest wall invasion using Kent's retractor and hook suspender. Standard muscle sparing thoracotomy cannot obtain the adequate operative field in the posterior chest wall under the scapula because of sparing the latissimus dorsi muscle. To obtain a sufficient operative field at the operation for en bloc chest wall resection, especially with the area of the posterior chest wall under the scapula, resection of the trapezius muscle, rhomboideus major muscle, and latissimus dorsi muscle has been added to muscle-sparing thoracotomy. Through our new technique using Kent's retractor and hook suspender that has been used in the abdominal surgery, assistant surgeon can be eliminated in favor of hanging up the scapula, which is able to be performed much easier to obtain a good operative field. To use the Kent's retractor and hook suspender, the scapula is lifted upward and cranially. With these procedures, the proximal portion of the first, second and third ribs in the posterior chest wall covering by the scapula is able to resect from vertebrocostal junction with muscle-sparing thoracotomy. We examined the apparatus for a case of the right upper lung carcinoma with invasion to the posterior chest wall. We performed right upper lobectomy with chest wall in the area of the second, third and forth ribs with suspending the scapula by Kent's retractor after muscle-sparing thoracotomy.
