Summary

Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has emerged as a promising and exciting approach for minimally invasive thoracic surgery. However, nearly all reported uniportal VATS lobectomies have been performed via the intercostal route, and chest wall trauma has still occurred. Here,the investigators undertook novel uniportal VATS technique involving a subxiphoid route for pulmonary lobectomies to evaluate the feasibility and advantages.

Conditions

• Lobectomy
• Subxiphoid Uniportal Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Subxiphoid uniportal VATS	Patients were placed in a supine position, and the operating table was manipulated as needed to elevate the appropriate side of the body for surgery. The surgical procedures followed principles of pulmonary resections; in particular, similar to mediastinal lymphadenectomy for lung cancer, these procedures involved the individual dissection of veins, arteries and lobar bronchi.
PROCEDURE	Three-port VATS	The surgical procedures followed principles of pulmonary resections; in particular, similar to mediastinal lymphadenectomy for lung cancer, these procedures involved the individual dissection of veins, arteries and lobar bronchi
