In this paper we present a new technique for thymic cystectomy by video-assisted thoracic surgery. The thoracoscope was inserted using a Vein Harvest (Ethicon Endo-Surgery Co, Ltd, Cincinnati, OH) through a 5-cm subxyphoid incision. A Harmonic Scalpel (Ethicon Endo-Surgery) and Cherry Dissector (Ethicon Endo-Surgery) were used for dissection. The thymic cyst was successfully removed through the incision without thoracotomy. The advantage of this technique is that it is less invasive than video-assisted thoracic surgery through the thorax, removing the need for a thoracotomy.
