<p>This video demonstrates a posterolateral thoracotomy. The
authors detail the procedure in a step-by-step fashion, using diagrams and
surgical video to illustrate key technical elements. This video also shows a
muscle-sparing approach to the posterolateral thoracotomy, preserving the
serratus anterior. If a muscle-sparing approach is not desired, then the
serratus muscle may simply be divided entirely during the muscular division
step.</p>
