Abstract

We have experienced 59 cases of videothoracoscopic operation for 7 months from January to August 1992 at Yongdong Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of medicine. There were pneumothorax in 21 cases, mediastinal mass in 12 cases, diffuse intestitial lung disease in 7 cases, Buerger's disease in 1 case, metastatic lung cancer in 1 case and sclerosing hemangioma in 1 case. We had performed a variety of procedures (bullectomy in 21 cases, sympathectomy in 17 cases, mass excision in 12 cases, lung biopsy in 8 cases, lobectomy in 1 case). The patients were uneventful in post-operative courses.
