The article showed the clinical experience using video-assisted pulmonary resection in tuberculous patients (47 operations). Upper lobectomy on the right was carried out in 10 (21, 3%) cases. Upper lobectomy on the left was performed in 6 (12,8%) cases. This fact could be explained by the frequency of affection of mentioned lung sites in tubercular process. A level of intraoperative complications consisted of 8,5% in video-assisted lung resections. The rate of postoperative complications was 10,6%. General efficacy of the application of video-assisted lung resections estimated 97,9%.
