Abstract:
Minimally invasive thoracic surgery has been one of the most important surgical advances recently. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is a relatively rare anomaly and is clearly associated with various congenital anomalies such as pectus excavatum, cardiac and pulmonary vascular lesions. We have experienced a case that was treated with minimal invasive methods for congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation involving in the right lower lobe and pectus excavatum in a 5-year-old boy. We simultaneously performed thoracoscopic right lower lobectomy and Nuss procedure of pectus excavatum using a substernal steel bar. Therefore, a minimally invasive surgical treatment for this diseases is feasible and cosmetically excellent.
