Has anyone tried VATS - video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery? What was the outcome? What was the recovery period? Who was the doctor? Were you happy with your decision to go this route after surgery?
Found an article describing the procedure in 11/19/2001 Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio) describing it performed at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital. It requires "three small incisions between ribs, through which doctors insert tubes equipped with a video camera, a light, and a cutting tool."
