Comparative estimation of videothoracic and open surgery efficacy in the treatment of post-traumatic coagulated hemothorax have been shown in 612 patients. According to the achieved results, effectiveness of videothoracoscopy (92.4%) is better than open surgeries. Apart from that, reduction in the hospitalization days (9.6 days compared to 11.5 days in open surgeries), frequency of complications (4.5% and 13.8%), traumatic intervention and rehabilitation time. All the patients alive. Best results are achieved using videothoracoscopical operations at the earliest in posttraumatic coagulated hemothorax.
