Abstract
Imaged thoracic surgery is a new modality that is rapidly gaining acceptance from thoracic surgeons. Procedures that traditionally required a thoracotomy can now be done successfully using this technique in some patients. Three patients with primary carcinoma of the lung have undergone lobectomy using imaged thoracic surgery.
