Totally thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomies are feasible for lung cancer and other conditions, offering a minimally invasive approach with a low complication rate. This technique is vital for sublobar resections in early-stage lung cancer management.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomies are increasingly accepted.
  • VATS segmentectomies are technically challenging but crucial for early-stage lung cancer.
  • Renewed interest in sublobar resections highlights the potential of thoracoscopic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the technique and outcomes of totally thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomies.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of this minimally invasive approach.
  • To assess the role of VATS segmentectomy in managing lung malignancies and other thoracic conditions.

Main Methods:

  • 117 patients underwent totally thoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomies using endoscopic instruments and video display.

Thoracoscopic Extended Right Middle Plus Lower Sleeve Lobectomy for Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Published on: February 27, 2026

  • Indications included clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer (69 cases), solitary metastasis (17), and benign lesions (31).
  • Various segmentectomies were performed, with 69 cases including radical lymphadenectomy.

    • Main Results:

    • 5 conversions to thoracotomy were required.
    • Mean operative time was 181±52 minutes; mean blood loss was 77±81 cc.
    • 12 postoperative complications (11.7%) and a median stay of 5.5±2.2 days were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Totally thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomies are feasible.
    • This approach demonstrates a low complication rate.
    • VATS segmentectomy is a viable option for lung cancer and other thoracic conditions.
