Abstract
Thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy is the treatment of choice for congenital pulmonary airway malformation and intralobar pulmonary sequestration in infants and children, both of which are now commonly diagnosed prenatally. The timing of surgery is somewhat controversial in asymptomatic cases with small isolated lesions. Thorough understanding of anatomic relations preoperatively is vital for successful outcome and thin-slice computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction of vessels is valuable. Judicious placement of trocars and switching instruments between trocars improves visualization and safety. Incomplete fissures and history of chest infections are most problematic.
