Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lung segmentectomy may be considered an oncologic equivalent treatment to lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) sized 20 mm or smaller. Subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) could further improve the surgical outcome reducing the surgical stress and completely avoiding the intercostal nerve injury. The aim of this manuscript is to illustrate the Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital surgical techniques for uniportal subxiphoid VATS (SVATS) segmentectomies.
