We compared thoracoscopic surgery (TS) and open thoracotomy for the diagnosis of interstitial pneumonia. Intraoperative blood loss and duration of postoperative chest drainage were significantly less with TS than with thoracotomy. The length of postoperative hospital stay and social insurance costs with TS was significantly less than with thoracotomy. These results show that TS for the diagnosis of interstitial pneumonia is superior to open thoracotomy in terms of surgical stress and cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
