Abstract:
From June 1991-February 1992 we have performed in 10 patients wedge resection of the lung by means of minimally invasive surgery. Indications were: spontaneous pneumothorax (5), tumours (3), suspected systemic disease (2). In all patients the pathological specimen preoperatively diagnosed by x-ray and CT, could be harvested without any problem. Minimally invasive, atypical wedge resection is considered as an effective procedure with low risk and discomfort for the patient.
