Lobectomy with Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy -4 Cases Report-

Abstract
|
|
|
Video thoracoscopic surgery is a new modality that gains acceptance rapidly from thoracic surgeons. We have experienced two left lower lobectomies, one left upper lobectomy & one right upper lobectomy with video thoracoscopy for the four patients
with
lung parenchymal disease from July 1992 to February 1993. The post-operative courses were uneventful.
The final pathologic diagnosis were sclerosing hemangioma, adenocarcinoma, bronchiectasis, leiomyoma & the post-operative courses were rather short. These patients needed less analgesics because postoperative pain was reduced markedly, and
hospitalization was shortened due to rapid recovery.
We would like to prefer video thoracoscopic lobectomy to the lobectomy through standard thoracotomy in uncomplicated patients with simple pulmonary parenchymal diseases. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1994; 27:236-240)
