lung cancer treatmentpulmonary functionthoracoscopy/VATSBackground The aim of this study is to evaluate the serial changes in pulmonary function and the recovery time for the observed postoperative values to reach the predicted postoperative values after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy ...
Background and objective To research the effect and practicalbility of lobectomy with bronchoplasty and reconstruction of pulmonary artery by minitrauma-technique for lung cancer. Methods We retrospectibely reviewed our experience on 61 cases being lobec
This study aimed to compare the postoperative quality of life (PQOL) between non–small–cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent video–assisted thoracoscopic sublobar resection (subsegment, segment, or wedge) and lobectomy. Meanwhile, we developed a PQOL scale for patients with NSCLC aft...
Objectives The objective of this study was to assess the safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) completion lobectomy (CL) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after diagnostic wedge resection by comparing with standard VATS lobectomy (SL). Methods Data were retrieved from an insti...
12, 13 This trial could be performed because all attending institutions own the common programs for operative indication, preoperative and postoperative schedule, and training their registrars for the patients with lung cancer. To assess the postoperative recovery status, we applied the method of ...

With the continuous development of minimally invasive surgical instruments and techniques, VATS has become the main surgical method for early lung cancer. Compared with thoracotomy, VATS has smaller incision, less tissue damage, faster postoperative recovery, higher quality of life and higher satisfaction...
Impact of Trainee Involvement on Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy for Cancer Background Previous literature in other surgical disciplines regarding the impact of resident/fellow involvement on operative-time and outcomes has yielded mixed results. The impact of trainee involvement on minimally invasive...

treatment outcomes for lung cancer patients and overall protective effect. At our institution, pulmonary lobectomy for early-stage NSCLC is generally performed in aminimally invasive procedurewith the assistance of arobotic surgical system, highlighting a divergence from past studies in which pulmonary ...
