Because some of the solitary pulmonar nodules are benign, early aggressive approaches for diagnosis and treatment are controversial. We investigated the surgical morbidity and mortality in cases which we have performed thoracotomy for undeterminated solitary pulmonar nodules. We reviewed the 25 cases which we have performed thoracotomy for undeterminated solitary pulmonar nodules in our clinic. 40 % of cases were in malign and 60 % of cases were in bening nature. Unnecessary thoracotomy incidence was 12 %. We found incision pain in two patients during controls done 2 mounths after operation. The average hospitalization time was 4.2 days. There was no mortality. All of malign and most of benign solitary pulmonar nodules need surgical treatment. In these cases, surgical treatment is a safe method for diagnosis and treatment and can be performed with minimal morbidity and mortality
