Background: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of complications after thoracoscopic lobectomy in children according to a verified classification. Secondary aim was to evaluate the modifications made in our management protocol in order to decrease the rate of complications.

Methods: Retrospective study of pediatric patients in whom a lobectomy was performed for congenital lung malformation (CLM) in our institution between 2003 and 2021.
