RESUMO
Patients with diffuse lung disease need lung biopsy for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Both traditional open lung biopsy through a thoracotomy and video assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy are effective methods for obtaining parenchymal samples. The authors present their surgical method and experience. Thirty patients were operated on for lung biopsy using mediastinoscope between 1999-2003. Lung parenchymal samples were eligible for histological examination. No serious postoperative complications developed. The method is simple, safe and low-cost.
