Although the incidence of descending necrotizing mediastinitis(DNM) is low, this is a serious disease because it"s mortality have been reported to be as high as 40∼50%. Currently, many authors have emphasized aggressive surgical approaches rather than medical treatment alone. We report good results in 2 DNM patients treated by less invasive approach with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Less invasive methods with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery can reduce hospital stay and morbidity if effective drainage can be achieved in selected DNM patients.
