Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) offers a safe and effective approach for right upper lobe lung cancer. This minimally invasive technique simplifies lobectomy and lymph node dissection, reducing complexity and operating time.

Area of Science:

Thoracic Surgery
Surgical Oncology
Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is increasingly utilized for intrathoracic diseases.
Key considerations in VATS for lung cancer include complete mediastinal lymph node dissection and surgical safety.

Observation:

This report details a case of VATS right upper lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection for a 60-year-old female patient with a right upper lobe tumor.
The single-direction lobectomy technique was employed.

Findings:

The single-direction lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection via VATS is a safe and feasible minimally invasive approach.
This technique effectively shortens operative time and reduces procedural complexity.

Keywords:
