The mediastinum used to be a forbidden area for endotherapy because of its complicated and variable anatomical structure [1]. Traditional surgery is regarded as curative but brings with it great trauma, a long recovery, high costs, and a poor quality of life [2]. To overcome these disadvantages, in our previous work we reported a novel approach to paraesophageal structures using the narrow submucosal tunnel or “third space” as an operating entry into the mediastinal cavity [3]. However, we still encountered several problems. When tumors are located higher than 22cm from the incisors, it is impossible to start the tunnel entry 5 cm above the tumor site. In addition, when the tumor is larger than 5 cm in diameter, it cannot be taken out through the tunnel en bloc without injuring the mucosa, but has to be removed piecemeal instead. We are eager to update endoscopic procedures to improve the approach to such tumors. Herein, we report on a novel technique, called natural orifice transluminal endoscopic mediastinal surgery (NOTEMS), which involves full-thickness resection of the esophageal wall to dissect the tumor in the mediastinal cavity, followed by closure of the wound by metallic clips along with biological glue, to treat large mediastinal tumors around the upper esophagus (▶Fig. 1). Using NOTEMS, we successfully treated a 30-year-old patient admitted because of an esophageal submucosal tumor (SMT) found on routine check-up by regular esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) (▶Fig. 2). By means of computed tomography of the chest and endoscopic ultrasonography the SMT was diagnosed as a giant posterosuperior E-Videos
