Recently, video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become widespread surgical method because the patients can have less injury and pain than those with the traditional operation.<br> We have experienced a series of 156 cases of VATS from July 1992 to July 1998. When they were classified by the purpose of performing the procedure, 144 cases underwent VATS for treatment and remaining 12 cases for the diagnosis. The former 144 cases of the treatment included 74 cases of lung partial resection, 33 cases of pneumothorax, 18 cases of mediastinal tumor, 12 cases of lung lobural resection, four cases of intrapleural hyperthermo-chemotherapy and three cases of pleural tumor.<br> In 7.7% of these cases, thoracootomy was seeded and in 3.8% of these cases, minor complications have occured.<br> In this paper we present a study on VATS cases in our institution as well as VATS cases in the institutions of Kyusyu area analyzed by quentionnaire survey conducted in 1996.
