Abstract

An analysis of the video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) operations in 203 patients with various surgical pathology of lungs and
pleura is presented. As a result of using VATS surgical interventions 200 patients were discharged from hospital. The lethal outcome
occurred in 3 (1.5 %) patients with IV stage lung cancer. Complications after VATS operations noted in 17 (8.4 %) patients. VATS
operations can successfully combine the possibilities of closed and open surgical interventions in surgery of the lungs and pleura,
and execution mini thoracotomy not signifi cantly complicate the postoperative period and does not affect the length of stay of
patients in hospital. Also it should be noted that the VATS surgical techniques can signifi cantly reduce the invasiveness of surgical
interventions in acute pleural empyema and reduce the number of patients with the transition to the chronic form.
