Two-incision approach for video-assisted thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy treating the central lung cancer.
We review our experiences with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty for nonsmall-cell lung cancer, using only two incisions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of surgical approach. ⋯ Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty is a feasible and safe surgical approach, using only two incisions. This way of operation can promote the development of surgical technology.
