This report outlines our experience of 6 patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) using a linear endoscopic stapler to remove a giant bulla from the lung. Successful treatment with VATS was carried out in 4 patients, but the procedure needed to be changed to a thoracotomy in 2 patients - in one because of difficulty in single-lung ventilation, and in the other, due to a persistent air leak. Thus, we conclude that giant bulla without any associated severe respiratory failure can be an indication for VATS.
