Variation in the approach to VATS lobectomy: effect on the evaluation of surgical morbidity following VATS lobectomy for the treatment of stage I non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract
Recent advances in imaging, chemical pathology, and target therapy have made it necessary to redefine the role of surgery in the therapeutic algorithm in the management of lung cancer. Although video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy with hilar and mediastinal lymph node dissection was proposed over a decade ago to treat early lung cancer, this technique is currently not widely practiced, despite many documented advantages. This article examines the role of video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy in the treatment of early lung cancer and, in particular, variations in the approach and published results.
