Abstract
PURPOSE: Having demonstrated the comparative benefits of unilateral over bilateral video assisted thoracoscopic lung volume reduction surgery (VAT LVRS) it is now our policy to perform two-stage bilateral LVRS. The timing of the second operation is determined by the patients’ perception of their symptoms. We wished to determine whether this policy would result in a more sustained improvement in postoperative benefits.
