Objectives. Thoracic oncology patients are being offered minimally invasive thoracic surgery in our institute. Method. More than two years of videoassisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lung resections are presented and exemplified. Results. Every patient operated by VATS represented a challenge and required a teamwork, together with our colleagues from anesthesiology and intensive care unit, radiology, pathology, medical oncology, radiotherapy, and so on. Conclusions. Pulmonary resections by video-assisted thoracic surgery are a good example of an excellent interdisciplinary teamwork. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
