20 patients were operated thoracoscopically on the cause of the solid tumors of the pleural cavity. Patients were aged from 1 day of life to 17 years. Minimal size of the tumor was 3.1×3.5×4.0 sm; maximal 10×10×20 sm. The control group was created of 22 children with thoracic tumors, operated via thoracotomy. The postoperative period and outcomes were statistically better among patients, treated thoracoscopically.
