Abstract.
Three authors describe their individual technique for performing ETS. These are 1) a two-port approach under singlelung ventilation using a double-lumen tube and cutting the chain, 2) a two-port approach under endotracheal or mask anesthesia and clipping of the chain, and 3) a single-port approach under endotracheal or mask anesthesia and cautery of the chain. The sections are purely didactic and no attempt is made to compare or contrast the methods.
