Abstract

The progression to minimally invasive techniques has been almost a natural evolution of the use of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) from the investigation of pleural diseases, such as pneumothorax, and pleural effusion. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Minimally invasive thoracic surgery has been extensively used in the field of lung cancer. As the procedure has evolved and been studied, thoracoscopic lobectomy has been demonstrated to be a safe and oncologically effective strategy in the surgical management of patients with early stage NSCLC. VATS is a minimally invasive technique that has many advantages in postoperative pain and recovery time. Most surgeons perform VATS for lung cancer with three or more incisions. As the technique of VATS has evolved, single- or double-port VATS for lung cancer has been recently attempted and its advantages have been reported.
