Major pulmonary resections by exclusive VTS. a first in Tunisia.
Although thoracoscopic surgery had been introduced in Tunisia since 1993, there were no anatomical resections performed that way. We report herein the first 3 cases of lobectomy performed by exclusive video-thoracoscopic surgery (VTS). Three female patients presenting with bronchiectasis (2 cases) and cystic adenomatoid malformation (1 case) have underwent a thoracoscopic lobectomy with different outcomes.
