Abstract
We performed thoracoscopic lung resection seven times in four patients with lung metastases from colorectal cancer. This procedure allowed a short operation time, minimal blood loss, and a short hospital stay. Thoracoscopic lung resection was chosen for resection of lung metastas es from colorectal cancer because it allowed simultaneous bilateral lu ng resection and early postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.
