Spherical tuberculosis foci occurring in the dirty layer and the wall layer of the pleura are called pleural tuberculosis balls, which are relatively stable tuberculosis foci with a more limited scope of lesions, and are traumatized by conventional open thoracotomy. According to the different parts of the flexible adoption of different surgical style, as little as possible to cut off the muscles and ribs, not only can easily approach the surgical site with the shortest distance, but also reduce the risk of surgery for people with markedly reduced lung function, reduce the patient’s trauma and pain, and healing scars are small and beautiful. Wang Cheng, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Shandong Thoracic Hospital, summarized the minimally invasive treatment of pleural tuberculosis ball as follows: Pleural tuberculosis ball excision Applicable to solitary lesions of the costal pleura, costal-diaphragmatic angle or paraspinal groove. Axillary small-incision resection of pleural tuberculosis ball lesions It is suitable for interlobar pleura, cardiophrenic angle tuberculosis ball and multiple pleural tuberculosis ball.
