Abstract

We retrospectively reviewed 24 video-assisted thoracic surgeries (VATS) for pulmonary involvement associated with a mediastinal tumor. The average postoperative hospital stay was 5.0±2.5 days. There were no severe postoperative complications. VATS can reduce postoperative complications and the length of hospitalization compared to open-chest surgery. We conclude that one-stage VATS for pulmonary involvement associated with a mediastinal tumor is a feasible therapeutic option.
