[Clinical evaluation of VATS lobectomy for lung cancer].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 2000 January
Thoracoscopic lobectomy is now recognized as a possible less invasive surgical option for stage I primary non-small cell lung cancer. We have widely used thoracoscopic procedure for surgical diagnosis of lung nodules especially in lung peripheral region as well as resection of primary lung cancer. Results of 47 thoracoscopic lobectomy during last 5 years were compared with 24 standard lobectomy under postero-lateral thoracotomy. There were no significant differences in the duration of surgery, post-operative hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss and post-operative survival. All but three patients who were diagnosed as n 2 disease or tumor with extrapulmonary extension post-operatively are surviving at the time of survey. We conclude that thoracoscopic lobectomy is safe and less invasive procedure compared to standard thoracotomy. We believe it can provide sufficient outcome for stage I non-small cell lung cancer.
