Abstract:
Objective:To discuss the method of Video Assisted Thoracoscopy(VATS) in diagnosis and treatment of small peripheral lung neoplasm.Methods:A wedge-shaped excision with VATS had been performed on 20 patients with small peripheral lung neoplasm.The sample had been sent to pathology during surgery.Lobectomy was done with the malignant tumor.Results:14 cases(70%) were malignant in stage IA ,6 cases were benign.The mean follow-up time postoperatively was 24 months(12～36months),there was no relapse case.Conclusion:For those patients,the diameter of neoplasm is smaller than 15mm,and antibiotic treatment is ineffective for 2～3 weeks,VATS can be available for diagnosis and treatment.
