[[Video-assisted pulmonary resection application for pulmonary tuberculosis].].

Results of application of video-assisted (video-assisted thoracic surgery VATS) pulmonary resection for pulmonary tuberculosis in 63 patients in 2008 - 2016 yrs were analyzed. Typical lobectomy was done in 28 (44.4%) patients, pulmonectomy - in 1 (1.6%), lower bilobectomy - in 1 (1.6%), combined resection of upper lobe and the Cv segment - in 1 (1.6%), typical segmentectomy - in 23 (36.5%), atypical one - in 9 (14.3%).
