Video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy: 3-year initial experience with 200 cases

Abstract

As we gain more experience over time, with more cases performed each year and less invasive approaches, results improve in terms of less surgical time and more extended lymphadenectomies. Furthermore, we have observed a clear evolution in our surgical approach to a less invasive 2-port approach. In selected cases we have implemented the single-port lobectomy.
