The Era of VATS Lobectomy
Primary lung cancer remains the most lethal of all malignancies. The cornerstone of therapy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is surgical resection by lobectomy with complete systematically lymphadenectomy (Hartwig & D’Amico, 2010). One of the initial reports on video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy was published 1994 by Robert McKenna (McKenna, 1994). Since then thoracoscopic...

Since 2010, when the uniportal approach was introduced for major pulmonary resection, the technique has been spreading worldwide. The single-por...
متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) Lobectomy: the Evidence Base
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy provides a minimally invasive alternative for management of early stage non-small cell lung cancer, but is still only performed in a few specialized centers around the world. Questions about the safety of the surgery and its adequacy as a cancer operation remain hurdles for many surgeons. METHODS We performed a systematic review of t...

متن کاملVideo-assisted Thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for lung cancer does not induce a procoagulant state
Background Changes in the coagulation system in patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer have been sparsely investigated and the impact of the surgical trauma on the coagulation system is largely unknown in these patients. An increased knowledge could potentially improve the thromboprophylaxis regimes. The aim of this study was to assess the coagulation profile evoked in patients undergoing ...
