Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has significantly advanced thoracic surgery over the last 20 years.
  • Major pulmonary resections represent a key area of advancement within VATS procedures.
  • The optimal VATS technique for lung cancer lobectomy remains under investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of single-incision VATS lobectomy.
  • To compare single-incision VATS lobectomy with traditional multi-port VATS techniques.
  • To explore the expanding indications for single-incision thoracoscopic lobectomy based on surgical experience.

Main Methods:

  • Description of a refined single-incision VATS lobectomy technique.
  • Comparison of outcomes between single-incision and multi-port VATS lobectomy.
  • Gradual improvement of the VATS technique with increasing surgical experience.

Main Results:

  • Lung cancer lobectomy can be effectively performed via a single incision with outcomes comparable to multi-port approaches.
  • The single-incision technique avoids rib spreading, further reducing invasiveness.
  • Increased surgical experience has led to the successful application of single-incision VATS lobectomy in more complex cases.

Conclusions:

  • Single-incision thoracoscopic lobectomy is a viable and effective minimally invasive option for lung cancer treatment.
  • The technique's safety and efficacy are supported by comparable outcomes to traditional VATS.
  • Continued experience allows for the expansion of indications, making single-incision VATS lobectomy suitable for a broader range of patients.
