Abstract

Thoracoscopy is increasingly being used for thoracic surgery in both adults and children. Improvements in technology and surgical skills are the main reasons for the dramatic increase in patients being referred for thoracoscopic surgery. As the age and weight of the patients being referred for surgery are declining, newborns and infants are frequently scheduled for thoracoscopic surgery. Deflation of the lung at the surgical site is extremely useful for adequate surgical exposure, especially in the case of pulmonary resection [1].
