摘要:
Summary:Following the great success and wide acceptance of laparoscopic surgery, the mini-invasive approach has been adopted for use in thoracic surgery. Thoracoscopic surgery is gaining acceptability as the procedure of choice for the treatment of recurrent pneumothorax and bullous lung disease, peripheral benign and malignant lesions, diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, mediastinal and pleural lesions, esophageal surgery, and major pulmonary resections for primary lung tumors. We present the 4-year experience of a general surgery service that extended the use of its advanced laparoscopic skills to the performance of thoracoscopic surgery in 80 patients. Using thora-coscopy, we performed biopsy or excision of pulmonary lesions (23 patients), spontaneous pneumothorax (14 patients), thoracic sympathectomy (41 patients), and Heller's esophagomyotomy and pericardiotomy (1 patient each). The results are excellent, and we believe the procedures presented in this series, and similar ones, can be accomplished safely and successfully by well-trained laparoscopic surgeons.
