Methods The therapeutic result of 6 cases of mediastinal mass resected through minimal extrathoracic approach were retrospectively reviewed. Results 6 patients underwent successfully operation and recovered smoothly without any complication or operation death. A following up period lasting two years showed that no recurrence or metastasis occurred.
