Video-assisted thoracoscopic pneumonectomy for bronchial carcinoid tumor in a 14-year-old girl.
A 14-year-old girl with a carcinoid tumor of the proximal right bronchus intermedius underwent a video-assisted thoracoscopic pneumonectomy. She was fully ambulant within 48 hours of surgery, had less pain than that normally associated with standard thoracotomy, and was discharged on the 7th postoperative day.
