I have had a surgery and the purpose was far from LVRS; however, the end result could be compared to lung volume reduction surgery. Upper and lower right lung. It was VATS surgery. Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery. A Bullectomy and Pleurectomy. No scalpel. β€œJust” a small tube inserted between my ribs that has all kinds of equipment in it. Amazing. The Director of Cardiovascular Surgery, Emory University Hospital was at the helm.
Let me know if I can help.
