Minimally invasive methods of lung resection with video support in patients with tuberculoma
In modern thoracic surgery, minimally invasive methods of surgical treatment using video thoracoscopy are widely used. Video thoracoscopic resections of a small volume are performed, «large» pulmonary resections, which are commonly understood as forehead, biloba, and pneumonectomy, are performed only in the form of video - assisted interventions. We used video - assisted lung resections with video support for tuberculosis in 96 patients aged 18-54 years, all under general anesthesia with separate mechanical ventilation. The results confirmed that minimally invasive accesses under the control of video thoracoscopy in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis contribute to a reduction in the morbidity of surgical interventions, the duration of postoperative rehabilitation, and a significant decrease in the period of inpatient treatment and its cost.
