Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Single‐incision thoracoscopic surgery has increasingly attracted public interest and been applied in numerous thoracic procedures. However, single‐incision thoracoscopic surgery is associated with requiring subsequent procedures, such as intercostal neuralgia. Herein, we extend the single‐port technique of pulmonary metastasectomy through a single subxiphoid approach, and report the first two cases of this procedure to date.</p> </abstract>
