Abstract

From 1/2015 to 9/2015, 30 patients were operated with minimally invasive surgery. There were 22 males, 8 females, mean age was 48 years (range 32-70). Surgical indication was lung cancer 21, pulmonary sequestration 2, bronchiectasis 3, aspergillomas 1, lung abscess 1, primary pneumothorax 2. No mortality or major morbidity were recorded, operating time was 150±30 (minutes), intraoperative blood transfusion was in 3 patients, duration of chest tube drainage was 4±1 (days), length of hospital stay was 6±2 (days). We have demonstrated that the minimally invasive thoracotomy was feasible, safe, effective procedure for perfoming lobectomy, it restricted standard posterolateral disadvantages.
