 note = {Purpose: Although we generally perform thoracoscopic lobectomy for congenital lung cysts (CLCs), we recently began performing thoracoscopic-limited pulmonary resection (segmentectomy or small partial lung resection) on relatively small lesions and on lesions involving multiple lobes. Our study aimed to determine the therapeutic outcomes of thoracoscopic CLC surgery. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients aged ≤ 18 years who underwent their first CLC surgery at our facility between 2013 and 2020. Results: A comparison between patients < 4 months old and those ≥ 4 months old showed no significant difference in operating time or incidence of complications. Blood loss volume (mL/kg) was significantly greater in patients < 4 months old and in patients who had undergone semi-urgent or urgent surgery. Operating time and postoperative complications were not increased in semi-urgent or urgent surgeries. There was no significant difference in operating time, blood loss volume, or postoperative complications between patients with a preoperative history of pneumonia and patients with no such history. Conclusion: In most patients, thoracoscopic surgery for CLC was safely performed. Limited pulmonary resection is considered difficult to perform thoracoscopically in children, but can be safely performed using new devices and navigation methods.},
