    Summary

    Video-assisted thoracoscopy is useful for diagnosing pleural issues and lung lesions in tuberculosis patients, while video-assisted mini-invasive surgery and mediastinoscopy offer effective treatment and diagnosis for various thoracic conditions with low complication rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Context:

    • Pulmonary tuberculosis presents complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Video-assisted surgical techniques have evolved over the past decade.
    • Evaluating the utility of different video-assisted procedures in managing thoracic conditions is crucial.

    Purpose:

    • To generalize ten years of experience with video-assisted techniques in pulmonary tuberculosis surgery.
    • To assess the efficacy and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopy, mini-invasive thoracotomies, and mediastinoscopy.
    • To determine the optimal applications for each video-assisted surgical approach.

    Summary:

    • A total of 465 patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopy (133), mini-invasive thoracotomies (117), or mediastinoscopy (215).
    • Video-assisted thoracoscopy showed limited utility, primarily effective for diagnosing pleuritis and disseminated lung lesions.
    • Video-assisted mini-invasive operations and mediastinoscopy demonstrated significant advantages in treating various forms of pulmonary and pleural tuberculosis and diagnosing lymph node abnormalities, with low complication rates (3.6% and 1.4%, respectively).

    Impact:

    • Video-assisted mini-invasive operations offer a promising approach for extensive use in treating pulmonary and pleural tuberculosis.
    • Video-assisted mediastinoscopy is a high-resolution, technologically advanced technique suitable for wide application in thoracic surgery.
    • These findings guide the selection of appropriate video-assisted techniques for improved patient outcomes in thoracic surgery.
