1 Full thoracoscopic approach for surgical management of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis 
Dominique Gossot, MD, Pierre Validire, MD, Rosaire Vaillancourt, MD, Gérard Socié, MD, Hélène Esperou, MD, Agnes Devergie, MD, Philippe Guardiola, MD, Dominique Grunenwald, MD, Eliane Gluckman, MD, PhD, Patricia Ribaud, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 73, Issue 1, Pages (January 2002) DOI: /S (01)

2 Fig 1 Typical aspect of an Aspergillus lesion invading the pleura and the intercostal space. An en bloc resection is done using ultrasonic dissection. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

3 Fig 2 Aspect 1 month after a full thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy with wedge-resection of the lower lobe for invasive aspergillosis. (Lower arrows = port incisions; upper arrow = extraction incision.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

4 Fig 3 Thoracoscopic wedge resection of a subpleural invasive aspergillosis. Note that the fungal cavity is surrounded by a dense inflammation zone that can be infiltrated by fungal agents. This underlines the need for a large resection. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )
