title: Thoracoscopic excision of mediastinal bronchogenic cyst: a case report and review of literature.
abstract: Thoracoscopic resection of mediastinal cysts results in less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay and better cosmetic outcome when compared to the standard thoracotomy. We report successful thoracoscopic resection of a mediastinal cyst in a 17-year-old male who presented with right-sided chest pain.
