Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy offers a promising treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. This minimally invasive approach was successfully used for a patient with a right upper lobe nodule and lymph node dissection.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Surgical oncology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) requires effective treatment options.
  • Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy is emerging as a viable therapeutic strategy.
  • Patient selection is crucial for successful VATS segmentectomy outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the successful application of VATS segmentectomy.
  • To showcase the technique for treating a suspicious lung nodule.
  • To illustrate systemic mediastinal lymph node dissection during the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Anatomic segmentectomy via VATS.
  • Systemic mediastinal lymph node dissection.
  • Surgical treatment of a 1.6 cm suspicious nodule in the right upper lobe posterior segment.

Main Results:

  • Successful completion of VATS anatomic segmentectomy.
  • Successful systemic mediastinal lymph node dissection.
  • Effective treatment of the suspicious lung nodule.

Conclusions:

  • VATS segmentectomy is a feasible and effective treatment for select early-stage NSCLC patients.
  • The presented case highlights successful application in a patient with a right upper lobe nodule.
  • This minimally invasive technique allows for both tumor resection and lymph node assessment.
