[Video-assisted lower pulmonary lobectomy].
1995
: The authors present 2 cases of pulmonary lower lobectomy (right and left) using video-assisted modality. The I patient had a stage I NSCLC and the II had a metastasis from rectal carcinoma. The operation was performed using the modern videoendoscopic means introduced into the thoracic cavity thorough three ports and an anterior 4 cm mini-thoracotomy. The patients had an uneventful postoperative course and no pain or trouble breathing were observed. In conclusion the authors are of the opinion that performing lower pulmonary lobectomy, video-assisted technique is feasible and reliable; in very selected cases it should become the modality of choice.
