Pdf Summary

This study aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of performing complex segmentectomy through uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer patients. The researchers compared the outcomes of patients who underwent simple segmentectomy with those who underwent complex segmentectomy.<br /><br />A total of 199 patients who underwent uniportal VATS segmentectomy for lung cancer were included in the study. Among them, 67 patients underwent simple segmentectomy while 132 patients received complex segmentectomy.<br /><br />The study found that there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of patient and tumor characteristics, as well as operative and postoperative outcomes, except for the surgical margin distances. Uniportal VATS complex segmentectomy resulted in shorter postoperative stays compared to simple segmentectomy.<br /><br />The researchers concluded that uniportal VATS complex segmentectomy is a safe and feasible treatment option for patients with clinical stage 1A non-small cell lung cancer. However, it is important to note that complex segmentectomy may result in a shorter resection margin distance. Therefore, the location of the tumor should be carefully considered when performing uniportal VATS complex segmentectomy.<br /><br />This study contributes to the understanding of the different approaches for treating early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and provides evidence to support the use of uniportal VATS complex segmentectomy.
