Hi Everyone,
I've briefly read about this minimally invasive technique - where they deflate one lung and enter through "holes" in your side, instead of the traditional posterior approach. Has anyone had this done? I am going to ask the doctor this week about this, as I know he performs these procedures. I'm just not sure how effective it is, and what classifies someone to have this done instead of the traditional procedures?
