The recent explosion of interest in surgical endoscopic techniques has revived the application of an old thoracic surgical procedure—thoracoscopy. We report a case of a transthoracoscopic neodymium: yttrium-aluminum garnet laser resection of a limited-stage peripheral adenocarcinoma of the lung accomplished in an elderly man with serious chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
