title: Video-assisted transthoracic surgery resection of a tracheal mass and reconstruction of trachea under non-intubated anesthesia with spontaneous breathing.
abstract: Radical surgery for tracheal tumors is typically completed under basal anesthesia. Thus, endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are required. However, these procedures may influence the surgical operation and meanwhile prolong the surgical duration and postoperative recovery. In this article we describe the application of video-assisted transthoracic surgery (VATS) resection of a tracheal mass and reconstruction of trachea a non-intubated patient with spontaneous breathing.
