Thoracotomy through the auscultatory triangle

Department of Surgery, Ochsner Clinic and Alton Ochsner Medical Foundation, New Orleans, Louisiana.

We present a technique of thoracotomy through the auscultatory triangle. Good access to the thoracic cavity is obtained, and both latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior muscles are preserved. There is reduced postoperative morbidity.
